Two recent interiors I made...

To complexity of the scene is just one thing to affect the render time. Another one, probably the most important, is the size. Ussually I'd make smaller images just to show as a jpg, but these were for printing, and needed to be very large. Also, I've used the most time consuming method, since the others, ironically, would crash 3dsMAX at some point of calcuations (with lots of RAM unused). This was also due to the size.

You may want to look here: http://chaosgroup.com and search for Vray for C4D (released some time ago), and test it yourself

What resolution did you render at? I typically render at my desktop res (1440x900), but back in school I tended towards... 2048x... something or other.

I don't imagine rendering at a higher res than 1440x900 would take 18 more hours ><

You may be using some fancy radiosity calculations that defy my mind, though, so don't mind me.

 

[arev]

I think I mentioned it before, but the resolution was ~2800x2100. And the fancy radiosity... well, this method for lighting is not the radiosity. It's direct computation (quasi monte carlo) for primary light bounces, and "Light Cache" for secondary bounces (color transport, etc.). The second has something in common with radiosity, but it's the first one, that's more important, and that affects the render time more. And it's quite fancy too

No I haven't :> I said it was Vray. how many times do I have to repeat that? :d ^^
And no render farm either. Just my PC. That's why it took about 20 hrs to a 2800x2100 resolution

Hey captain, I know. I was asking if you've ever done it.

Hmmm sexy renders!

I especially love the Framed picture in the last 2 Renders  *wink* *wink*  please, tell me who the artist it so that i can send him my money, and i advise everyone else should too   ;D

 

[arev]

Oh, sorry rexx. I've once used Brazil for some time. But it was pretty long time ago and I didn't actually know how to take advantages of it then

Hi Diego, love the picture too ^^ Send the money to me, I'll send it to him :D

 

[rexxzecutioner]

Ah, I hear it's very high quality, and the best way to get usage out of it is with a render farm, heh.

 

[GhastlyMasquerade]

Renderfarm? As long as you aren't using old laggy pcs...

 

[Rain]

Those images are very nice and high quality....

Sims 3 anyone? :p

arevulopapo, just out of curiosity, could you tell me if vray skin material is any good compared with mental ray? I mostly use sss skin material (mental ray) But I don't know if Vray gives better results.

 

[arev]

Sorry, I can't help you. I'm not into humanoid stuff so I never actually used the skin mtl.

 

[GhastlyMasquerade]

Ah that sucks, thanks anyway!

vray produces better results for skin than mental ray, from my experience.
