Rendering Takes Too Long!
 
It takes us a half an hour to render one frame, and we have over 1000 frames. What's going on?
:deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse:

You could have one or a combination of these

1: Too many verticies
2: Lots of shiny or transperant textures
3: Extensive lighting
4: Slow computer
5: Render set-up is really high quaility

That's what usually slows my rendering down.

I know it has to be 1080x720, so that's not really fixable... I guess we will simplify our shapes. Thanks!

ummm.... the Autodesk spec is 1280 x 720, not 1080 x 720

...I hope I only typed that incorrectly here, and not in the render setup.

Don't know if you already know this but thought i'd bring it up anyway in case others don't.

It's not just the screen size you render to that makes it HD. When you render, there is a box underneath the current rendered frame with lots of sliders. Those can be used to adjust the quality of the render. I.E. how realistic your shadows, reflections, glossiness etc. are. If you are just doing a quick test render, I'd suggest bringing those down for faster render time. For final, I just leave those on default so the file size is kept low enough.

I think we messed with those a bit at first, but I believe they're back on default now. We will definitely have to double check. Thank you!

Just outta curiosity, what are the specs of your rendering rig?

Well... I don't remember. It was whatever the requirement was in the rules, though.

No no, I meant whats in your computer?

No idea. Where would I find this? I can't access it until Monday, though.

If you're on a Windows machine, Right click "My Computer" > "Properties" Should list your RAM and CPU

And somewhere the "specs" will be listed? I'm not good with the inner workings of computers.
