  11.011 to 11.021 Upgrade Render Issues.

  Posted by Todd Jaspers on January 25, 2009 at 6:38 pm

  Hello.

  I was running 11.011 and rendering a project that is 800 frames. The camera is zooming in on an object and right around the 300 frame mark the renders started to go from 2mins a frame to 8 hours a frame.

  It had radiosity, and lights and that’s it. Its not a high polygon count thing because the object really isn’t that complicated.

  I upgraded to 11.021, and it now when it renders the bottom of the render window displays “Processing…” It shows this for an infinite amount of time, I have no idea how long it did this for. I rendered overnight, then today I looked at the files and each frame took 2 minutes per frame again, BUT I have no idea how long it was “Processing…” for. It was over 2 hours for sure, cause I was watching for that long, but after that it could have been 3 hours, 8 hours, 12 hours I have no way of knowing. I could only tell each frame took 2 minutes to render by their creation dates on my drive.

  Anyone know how to determine how long this takes? In a log? Or how can I determine the times for my renders? If it says Processing for an unknown amount of hours, I can’t really manage my rendering that well, if at all..

  Oh, someone suggested using NET rendering, but I don’t have that module..

  Thanks..
