Stereo Panoramas are taking TOO much time to render

Enscape Issues

Back in 2024, I used to render Stereo Panoramas of complex 3D Models in SketchUp, and each scene took around 15 minutes to render.

My specs are: RTX 3050, 16GB RAM, RYZEN AMD 5, DELL G5.

I took a time off from rendering and now I’m back on it, and each scene of stereo panorama of simple geometry is taking 1 hour long to render.

This is frustrating, because this was something I really enjoyed and now takes so much time, and I just don’t want to render panoramas.

Last year I was using Sketchup 2023, files were +150mb and the rendering time was 15 minutes for each scene.

Now I’m using Sketchup 2024 and I’m trying with 30mb files, simple geometry, no furniture, no skatter, no plants or HQ textures, same computer and is taking 1 hour for each scene.

My drivers are fully updated. :sketchup: :rolleyes:

Hello @AndresGtz1502 and welcome to the forum. As we are striving to push for better image quality, the render time are also increasing despite our best efforts to keep them low; this is a balancing game between how much time we want to devote to a better image.

That said, the quality of all presets has increased so if you were using Ultra before your break, you should be able to use the High preset now to get similar results. Or if you were using High, you could now use Medium.

It would also help if you could specify the versions of CAD+Enscape that you were using before your break and the versions of CAD+Enscape you are using now.
