Render Speed / Times / Duration
Hello All,
We have just taken posession of a new server purely to use for rendering.
The specs are - 2x Quad core Xeon 5450, 36GB RAM, 1TB of 146GB RAID 5 10k RPM drive HHDs - Win 7 Pro 64bit no Antivirus or other software loaded except OS, CAD and nXt
We have just started a render at the 5,000,000,000 pixels and to be honest it doesn't appear to be any faster than when it was running on a 32bit WinXP, Core2 Quad 2.66Ghz, 4GB, 7200RMM HDD Machine.
Are there any tweaks or changes we can make to utilise more CPU / RAM in the new machine?
Thanks
Tony

Nope. You should see a nice improvement. Check the Pixels/Second statistic for your best comparison.

Thanks Roy,
We have seen no dramatic improvement in rendering speed however we are able to render several models in parallel so I guess you could say we can do more in the same time!!

What do you mean you are able to render several models in parallel?

"The wooden texture of the TV-Console looks quite decent.
The Wallpaper on the left has an interesting structure, maybe it would look even better, if you make the texture seamless + applying a little bit of depth, e. g. with highpass - filter in PS?"
"Thank you for help on this topic!
Will test 'Automesher LT' (developed by Automapki), if I run into troubles again.

"Good day,
I searched the former forum posts and found another option to solve this problem which is another plugin to autocad-----AUTOMAPKI. You can give it a try."

3ds +obj import works for older files-'xfrog-plants', for instance... .Comments + Critics appreciated!Hopefully accurender still survives!
"Found 'Textured Mesh Support' only works with obj and 3ds Files which do not contain PBR Maps.
To 'obj' converted newer 3ds do not render in nXt :-("
