Everyone… awhile back I got a list of things that can all have an effect on rendering clarity and quality. I'm hoping for the same thing when it comes to speeding up renderings. As an example: A scene I'm rendering has only 4486 faces <4486> 3 objects, all metal reflection materials, Highlight on one object very slight. No background and 3 omni lights. On a DX2/66, 32 meg ram excess HD space. rendering out to the par. it's taking almost 14 mins a frame at the point where the objects take up most of the screen. What can I do/turn on and off/not do that will speed up rendering times without affecting the quality of the final images?? All you guys I admire……I await your suggestions!! Patrick Malone 70461,3646
