  GI Pre-Passes

  Posted by Jeremiah Belt on November 24, 2010 at 6:13 pm

  I’m new to Cinema 4D coming from a Maya background. Working on a big commercial project and was able to optimize my 720P renders with GI to 2.3 minutes a frame. Sent off 589 frames to render and it started doing these GI Pre-Passes which it obviously never did during single frame renders. It should of been around a 22 hour render but now it’s 40 hours later and it’s still working on the second GI Pre-pass!!? My question is if these Pre-Passes are in addition to or on top of my original estimated render time? If so I’m screwed and need to throw out the GI and try to emulate the look with lighting. Thx.
