Rendering 3D, a long-lasting process, requires very strong computing performance to be effective and not take hours, which costs artists and 3D studios a lot of investment. So how can we do to speed up the rendering process and focus on just creation works without spending a lot of money on expensive hardware?

The following tips allow you to speed up rendering regardless of the program you are using.

1. Check running processes on the computer

Make sure no other programs are running in the background. The computer must not be loaded with anything except the rendering so that the time is not extended. Any other process more or less delays rendering.

For Windows: To control background processes, use the [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Delete] key combination to bring up the Task Manager and go to the Processes tab and delete those you don’t need. Do the same for programs.

For Mac: To disable unwanted processes and applications on your Mac, you need to go to Activity Monitor. It is located in Applications in the Tools category. Once you fire it up, you will be able to easily remove any unnecessary processes and applications that slow down your computer.

2. Be selective with your effects

We must be aware that not everything is possible with the hardware we have at the moment and everything is at the expense of rendering time. Therefore, choose your effects consciously and try to find the right balance between the rendering time and visual effects.

3. Better Software - Speed up the rendering process

Not all 3D animation or video production software is equally effective. Perhaps the display efficiency problem lies in the program you are using. So let’s test different programs and see if rendering speed is the same on other software. If so, the issue could be with your hardware.

RENDER WITH 3S CLOUD RENDER FARM

3S Cloud Render Farm is a cloud rendering service supporting Houdini and Redshift, Mantra, V-Ray, Arnold together with other 3D creation suites with their renderers/render engines such as Blender, Cinema 4D, Maya, 3Ds Max, and to be continuously updated.

Infrastructure investment to match the needs of rendering is not only a huge expense for 3D artists/studios but also the difficulty of meeting all rendering requirements due to the difference in scale between projects. For this motivation, 3S pursues building an ecosystem of services with a view to eliminating dependence on physical machines so that 3D artists/studios have the opportunity to focus on creating artistic ideas.
