  • Very slow rendering of large the res image

    Hi there,

    I started a render last night expecting it to be at least half way through the rendering stage when I came back to it this morning and it is still currently doing the pre-pass. I am using DR and have 4 other machines. 1 with 8 gb ram and the other 3 with 6gb ram. My main machine has 12gb ram.

    The buckets seem to be going very slow even on sections like a vraylight material being used as a sky backdrop..usually the buckets flit across that really quickly.

    I am trying to render to 5000x3333 res.

    Could it be disk swapping causing this issue ? Looking at the memory used on the max render dialogue, it went up to 11.5 gb and then suddenly dropped to 3gb and is now going up again to 6gb and more.

    Any ideas ?
    Regards

    Is there any harddrive activity? Also, which 3ds max version are you using?

    Best regards,
