A dilemna..

[3DTickler]

I have a great FFFF/M interrogation scene worked up but I have so many figures in it that it just won't render in production mode (yet). The scene was done by request by one of the members, and I think it came out pretty well. My dilemna is this: Should I post a draft version up that looks OK now, and work on the Prod render, or just wait on the prod render?

*** Problem Solved, I posted it ***

Hey 3D,

your work is great. As far as your dilema I too have the same problem sometimes. I've tried a few things that might help...if you have not already tried them.

All my posted renders have been in Draft only, haven't used Production much at all.

There is a Tutorial at Renderosity.com called "the 30 second Psoer 5 render speed upgrade". Which basically says to change your Render options "Bucket Size" which is defaulted to 64....lower this to 32 or 16 this gives you a larger render block and frees the processor between blocks. Also, when I do Draft renders, I adjust the "Maximum texture resolution" which draft default is set to 1024....I increase that to 2048 or even 3072. This will give you a higher resolution without having it set to Production Max 4096.

give these a try and I hope they help.
