We often get questions about the rendering time. The rendering time depends on many factors, so it is difficult to give an average render time.
Below are a number of factors that influence the render time:
- The size of the file.
- Materials (metallic/reflecting, transparent/glass, self-illuminating,...),
- Lights
- Many elements in the drawing that come from the 3D Warehouse (e.g. plants).
- Ospray setting, Size of the render: This can be set on high so rendering takes longer.
- Ospray setting, Stopping Conditions: This can be set to High or Unlimited, which makes rendering take longer.
What can you do to speed up the rendering process:
- Work with a CPU with a lot of Cores, for more information see the document Technical Tips.
- The entire drawing will be rendered. You can hide parts of the drawing that are not visible in the view you want to render.
- Use the Batchrender (only in pCon.planner PRO). With the Batchrender you can render multiple renders in a row, and you can keep working in the file from which you create renders.
