Render times

[Penry]

Hi everyone,
I have recently upgraded to V3.50.03 from Vs 2 having spent the last few years working to reduce render times. Now I am finding that static scenes which would normally have taken around an hour to render are taking 5 hours!!! I'm still getting my head round the new layout (progressive rendering...Global DMC...probalistic lighting etc) but I just can't get the render times down and no matter how high I set subdivisions to it's all coming out noisey and pretty rubbish. Anyone got any tips they would share please.

Thank you

It would be best if you could send us that scene for investigation and let us know what was the previous version you've upgraded from.
If sending scene is not possible then the log files might give us useful information, just render the scene again with old version copy the log file do the same with newer version and attach or send both log files.

Thanks for the reply. OK if I send you the scene over we transfer?

You can either post the wetransfer link here if that's OK with you or send it to support@chaosgroup.com. If you do write an email, though, please make sure that you include a link to this thread in your email and/or put the title of the thread in your email subject so it's easier for us to find.
