Average Rendering Time on a 2017 MacBook Air Dual Core i5?
Posted: Sat Aug 08, 2020 5:14 am
Hey Everyone,
Hoping this doesn't infuriate anyone, but I'm fairly new here and did a fair share of topic browsing before posting the question...
My question is basically the subject header: what is the average rendering time (on the Easy 09 Interior preset) for a 2017 MacBook Dual Core i5? I've been working on an interior project and have had this particular scene (first went through the infamous "Preflight Checklist" to ensure I've minimised as much as possible in terms of background "noise" etc.), and I am currently sitting at a running time of 33.33 hours, and Ray Tracing of 738/10000...
I'm not too sure but in my mind that is quite a hefty time frame for one scene's worth of rendering.
I haven't even been using the Mac for any other reason during all of this time but to be rendering, & haven't had it switched off since it started (which I'm worried might cause my battery life to deteriorate quickly at this rate). And I still have 5 other scenes that need to be rendered for this project!
Has anyone else experienced similar issues? Or am I using the incorrect preset (rookie mistake) and if so, what would the recommendation be for the correct preset for similar scenes?
I'd appreciate ANY guidance.
Thanks in advance!
