Maya Arnold is a perfect combination for 3D animations, VFX, films… In which, Maya is outstanding 3D computer animation software, and Arnold, an advanced ray-tracing renderer, is the built-in interactive renderer for Maya. This article will show you how to speed up Maya Arnold render.

Best Hardware for Maya Arnold Render

Depending on each project, the appropriate device can be CPU rendering or GPU rendering.

CPU Rendering

As we see, most Maya Arnold projects are quite heavy, so users usually select CPU when submitting rendering jobs because of large memory. And, the memory of GPUs is smaller, which is often not enough to load heavy scenes.

GPU Rendering

However, for smaller projects, GPU is a good choice for fast rendering speed and cheaper prices for Maya Arnold Render. Because, these days, GPU rendering is more and more incorporated into software thanks to NVIDIA’s advances with their Ampere architecture and RT cores.

Render as a service – Render farm to speed up Maya Arnold Render

Currently, a GPU is not cheap at all. Instead, a render farm can help you to speed up rendering many times faster, especially when you render animations with a lot of frames. Also, you can easily choose GPU rendering or CPU rendering for each project.
