Hy Everyone,
I use sketch up Pro2013 with VRay 2.0 that I just got it last week.
I try render a simple interior scene ( with the best quality )
And it takes loong time..it is going to two days and still running?!?
Is there anyway to speed up the rendering time?
(Im using intel i5 3.20ghz, 4GB DDR3 Ram, 500GB HDD, windows7 64bit)
If I need yo get better computer which one right for me:
A workstation or a Render server?
My budget is around usd.8000,-
Best Regards
YI
Hy any reply?!?
I think if you were to properly optimize your scene, image sampler, materials, lights and so on you will be able to render it a lot faster. You will need few weeks-months to learn it tho. So you can either pay some1 to teach you, self teach or totally ignore these options and buy hardware for compensate for bad render settings…
Hy,
Thanks for the advice.

2 days sounds insane for rendering with V-Ray, unless you’re rendering very high resolution using Brute Force. I suspect there is something seriously wrong with your render settings, possibly way too many subdivs somewhere. Using Irradiance Map as your primary and Light Cache as your secondary you should be able to render even complex scenes in less than an hour on a i5 3.2GHz PC and with the right setup the quality is comparable with Brute Force.
Did you really mean that your budget for a workstation is Eight Thousand US Dollars?!! You could buy a good render farm for that.
Hy Jackson,
Thanks for the reply,
I realized I adjust the subdivis to 32 for some materials.. That is must be the problem.
Yes I am serious want to build better rendering machine.
My question is how to do render with render server in Vray for sketch up?
Which one better CPU or GPU or both?
Once again thank you for your time Jackson..
Best Regards
Yoshi Ikeda
32 is pretty medium/low. So thats not it. I think you better off with CPU based machine. Also I think it will be even better if you can post ur scene here so other sketch up artists can have a look at it and suggest what to tweak in order to make it work faster…
Hy,
Great!
But how to send it in this forum? Use photo attachment?
Sorry I am beginner and a new member…

I think you can take some screenshots of ur scene settings, materials and lights. Then we can have a look at it. Also if you can explain what resolution u render to and so on that would help. You can use forum attachments manager to upload pictures to.
Yi
Just to give you some reference point for render times, the attached interior view, which is clearly very simple, renders in 15 minutes.
Reflections, lights and glossy materials all tend to add to render times.
Have you checked out the video tutorials on the chaos site - they are really helpful.
Best of luck

Hy Darius,

Ok this is weird but it looks like this forum does not support attachments. Is that true or is it just me and Yoshi, Can any1 check it out to?
works for me - see my last post!
(make sure your attachments are not too large, and check your posting permissions, as shown at the bottom of this page)

Hy David,
Yes finally I found out the problem..
Thanks for the advice it is takes between 2-3 hours…
But I still look for the new comp..
So if you dont mind which one the best for Vray sketchup? CPU, GPU or both?
Regards
YI
Hy Darius,
I fix the problem.. It takes between 2-3 hrs with good quality rendering..
Thanks for the advice..
Anyway i saw your website you have amazing render, are you using sketchup or 3dmax?
Regards
Yoshi Ikeda
David, I saw your website.. Is that photo or your render?

Glad you got it fixed. I guess I am too impatient to wait 3hrs for a render - reminds me of the old days of ASGVIS when vray for SU was first launched. Now, with external renders taking less than 5mins, I get spoilt with the rendering times. I can’t get GPU processing to work for me - I think it is because I have an older graphics card (NVidia GeForce GTS 240). (Almost all my website images are renders, often photomatched, and varying in quality - some are rather old now).
Regards
David
Hy David,
Thats a render? Amazing!
What do you meant about external render? Sorry im still green in this field..
I want to show you my latest render but dont know how to attach in this forum.

Yoshi

After selecting REPLY, select ADVANCED REPLY, then select MANAGE ATTACHMENTS. From there you can upload your file - it also gives you the maximum file sizes.
External render - A view from the outside
Internal render - A view from the inside !! - sometimes with lights - although I rarely use them, relying on daylight from windows.
Regards
David
