Hi-Res Long Render Times

[deneb26]

hi guys

here are some settings i use for all of my stuff.
i experienced that vray crashes, when i try to render a region
with vray-framebuffer enabled without taking output-settings from max.
so vray should always have 'get resolution from max' enabled.
the resolutions for the 3 settings are:
640*452 for quick-render
1754*1240 for medium-quality
3508*2480 for high-quality
i'm using hsv expo btw. my vray-lights are all set at sudivs 20.
my scenes also contain alot of glossy-mats.
on a P4 3.2GHz with HT enabled an interior scene renders in about 8-12h.
you may try them out and comment how they work for you
and give any suggestions for optimization.
be sure to make a backup of your vray.cfg-file before.

be sure to make a backup of your vray.cfg-file before.

what? What is this cfg file? Is it the same as presets but more permanent?

As for the suggestions - thanks once again. This was a very helpful thread and I appreciate all the help. I'd have to say the biggest time savers (minus the splotches) so far are:

1) reducing the diffuse subdivs on the lights to 20 (and possibly the most obvious.)
2) dropping from -3, 0 to -5, -3.

The other tips I couldn't really measure cause the render was so freakin' slow (many hours) to begin with.
