Re: Studio Setup for Furniture

Re: Render Engine Reset Taking Long

ok so it's definitely my image files being too big. I scaled them down @ .5 and geometry processing went from 31 seconds to 3. I make my images to scale in illustrator since these projects are eventually printed. This one specifically, the images are 8'x8'(6912 × 6913 72x72). When I did the .5 scale...

Render Engine Reset Taking Long

Is there anything specific that cause the render engine reset time to take long? For a 2 second prelim render it's taking like 20-30 seconds to reset.

Re: render help. times and other questions?

Thank you that really helps!

do you mind taking a look at this small project. Still having trouble with emitter. I added a texture and I painted an emitter on the back and I'm not getting any light....I tried putting a spot inside the wall too at one point and nothing.

render help. times and other questions?

Still kinda new to rendering/SU and have some questions. I have 2019 MBP i9, 32g ram. I'm assuming that's enough for decent render speeds since twilight uses CPU from what I understand?
