rendering time
-
19 Apr 2007Im going to be rendering out a lipsync animation in a few weeks for class on a model that am using sss on. As of right now im having very long render times of like 10 mins at NTSC resolution. Does anyone very knowledgeable with sss and have tips to decrease rendering time? I'd prefer to not spend 50+ hrs rendering lol

Jonathan 480 posts19 Apr 2007How long is the entire animation, that is, how many frames? -
19 Apr 2007well i haven't made it yet, but it needs to be 10 seconds long

19 Apr 2007You could fake the SSS, here's an awsome tutorial about it;

This is what I've used for a while now, and I personally really like the results, the render times are super fast. -

Also, seeing how your scene is set up, lighting, render settings, etc. could help us try to lower your render times. -
19 Apr 2007I can try doing that, though a lot of the seniors at my school have the lab computers used up rendering their senior projects

Tone down render settings, watch bounces
fake global illum if you have it on
share 2d & 3d placement nodes if possible
theres a few things you can do!
