Hoq long the rendering should take on MBP PRO Radeon Pro 460 4 GB?

Post by yazwyak »

Hello,

Rendering an 2000 px wide image with PVR 1.7 and "path" takes up to 20 hours. I already assigned 12GB of RAM for SH3D.
Is it normal? Or perhaps I got some settings wrong or PVR uses built in Intel graphic card instead of extra one?
Could you please advise what to do, to have a rendering in less than an hour?

1 - SH3D doesn't use the video card in Q3 and Q4, only the CPU core(s).
2 - Rendering time of 20 hours is not unheard of, depending on your computer and design.
3 - Reducing rendering time can be achieved by:
- reducing image size
- reducing number of light sources
- reducing number of complex objects like trees, plants
- making invisible all objects that will not appear in the image
- etc
