#r4 render speed
8 messages in this thread
There has been lots of talk about the new features of 3DSR4, One thing, however
I find still unknown is how does R4 rate in production rendering speed compered
with 3DSR3. Rendering final animations has allways been the bottle-neck of any
3D packege?
Ken,

if it's not in the feature list it hasn't changed.
I don't think any changes were made to the renderer in R4.

I rendered the 57 chevy from ver.3 and ver.4 and there were no speed
differences. So I dont think they have changed the speed of the render.

no, but here's a couple of tests to show where the dramatic speed improvements
are:
1) Create a cube. Make a linear array of 999 of them. Now would be a good time
to lunch (if using r3). With r4 don't bother getting out of your chair.
2) Hide all. Unhide all. Once again take a coffee break with r3. With r4 it's
done faster than I can type "this".
3) Select all. Move object/selected. Come back tomorrow morning it should be
done with r3. With r4, not even time to go to the bathroom.
If you really want some fun and like watching your monitor do nothing for hours
(with r3), do the above tests with 5000 objects.

Sorry about the logon name but this is a Graphix Zone account.
Anway, yes I agree that the hide/unhide, array, moving selected objects, and
other things are much faster the v.3 but the render speed is about the same.

Greg,
>> but the render speed is about the same. <<
that's right, but then nobody has ever claimed otherwise. At least, nobody from
Adesk/Yost Group.
yes, I know nobody has claimed otherwise, but the original message was asking
is the render speed has been improved.
