This was done with Irender Nxt it to 2hours to render.
Two hours for 800x600 pixels?
Sorry, but I think that is laughably slow at that resolution.
I have tried IrenderNxt but quickly gave it up because of its utter slowness.
Once again, sorry. Nothing personal.
Hey,
Oh no offense taken, Pixero. We also have Maxwell render here too and that takes more than three as long. That's why render houses will take these files... I'd like to know that you use then...and how much did you pay for it? Sure, I could render it in shorter time but I won't like the results. I was able to use this software to make a presentation for a client on a Hospital that was more acceptable in the same given amount of render time than what Maxwell produced. I like the fact that it works inside of Sketch-Up and it has two versions both under $400. Most of the other renderers either look to "cartoony" or they just look unnatural. And IRender Nxt is very architecturally friendly. My main issue with it is that its CPU based and not GPU based.. So if I was running 8 cores on a dual CPU machine quad core machine, the same rendering would take aprox. 30 minutes or less. This is a dual core 2.6Ghz machine w/ 4GB of running on Win.XP Pro. with PC667 memory. So with a newer board this could be faster. Also, the more materials, light and reflections you have the slower it is too. This model has 6 sides and over 45 high-res materials, maybe 10 to 15 reflective materials and 8 lights in it with indirect lighting from surface bouncing (this room looks really great at 3600x2400). With non glossy materials and no indirect lighting, the same rendering with 1/2 the materials takes 15 to 20 minutes (to get the same number of passes)... What do you use? I'm always willing to try new things. Thanks.
