Question How can you keep test renderings times down with mental ray? It seems everytime I have a pretty complex model built it takes about 15 minutes to do a 600x400 size test render.
(my computer has a 3.2 Ghz Pent.4, 1GB ram, 256 nvidia video card) Also how do you enable the hyperthreading so there are 4 rendering buckets instead of 2?
Thanks
Answer Dear Nate,
Thanks for your question & for such precise details as well.
In the Render Window, you can select/deselect the options to render or not-render the environment, effects, materials etc. to render the things in a faster manner. You can also modify the settings to render the selected object only. Please look into that, CAREFULLY.
If you have any other query please get back to me.
