[AREUBLIND]

hi,
im making an animation but the file is huge, it has a lot of elements, it will take a lot of time to render it, can anyone tell me settings so i can save some time?

thx

settings will differ depending on what version your using.

and will depend a lot on your scene itself, your materials, and how you light it

repeat after me:

"There are no magic settings"
"There is no 'make pretty' button"

[Da_elf]

gee. i thought maxwell had a "pake pretty and wait till the cows come home even though you live in the middle of a city and the cows need to take two busses, 3 taxies and a train to get there" button
