Okay, braineaks If I am getting an hour render time at one resolution, wouldn’t my render time double if I were to double the resolution? I am talking in general.

If you double the resolution you’re doubling the image horizontally and also vertically so you could fit four of your old renders into the space of your new one, thus you could be up to 4 times the render time. There’s no guarantees though, there could be lots of boring flat areas in your scene that…

Sadly this is very hard to predict and dependent on a lot of different factors. Higher resolutions means more details visible and that can change sampling quite drastically in many ways. Also factoring in things like GI and alike doesn’t make things more linear heh. If it where only for the resolut…

well… I guess I knew doubling would, in theory, be 4X’s. I am getting clean renders, and good render times, at 800 x 450. The problem is doubling to 1600 x 900 seems to exponentially increase the render times. I need 3200 x 1800 and that render time seems astronomical.

Same shot as you were looking at before bobby?

Yep! it took 15hrs to render a pretty simple scene. By removing the vraylightmtrl, I got it to render, but 15 hours![quote=“Ghost3d, post:2, topic:39921, username:Ghost3d”] Same shot as you were looking at before bobby? [/quote]

Yowza - is that one you uploaded?

Bobby might I suggest taking a look at solidrocks? It’s cheap and although it wont make you a better vray “technician”, it could potentially save you quite a bit of time. I render with it at work and my final quality 5k renders never take more than an hour on 6 slaves.

I have it :). To get clean renders I have to crank it up to ultra so, it tends to be an over kill for me. I never see render times that low so, I am doing something wrong, or my computer is wonky.
