Oh, I have the same problem now and could not find any advice online.
It’s one of my first animations, I played around with preview render and wanted to try out the final render animation.
Differently to Travis, I only have 400 frames. I started rendering last night, so it is over 12 hours now and there is no sign of the end. I can only feel it is still rendering, CPU is 100%, C4d would ask if i want to interupt the process and the machine itself working fine.
I have the area in my animation where lots of 3dpolys are used. It took me 4 to 5 hours to make visuals of it and I’m affraid this bit slows down whole animation.
Any ideas how can I optimize it?
thanks!
