Hi all.
I'm rendering a jacuzzi (Phoenix).
I put a test render on last night and it was taking 40mins per frame.
To narrow things down I turned off elements - this brought it down to 25min /frame - I had 2 occlusion passes - I may turn 1 back on.
I'm rendering down to 7% - I can't remember exactly the values but by pass 10 it was on 9%.
I then had to wait another 6-8 mins for it to reach pass 15.
When it did it was at 4.3%
Maybe about 5 mins could have been shaved off if the recalc was more often.
I've set it to a recalc of 2 (still with all elements off) - it's now taking 10mins /frame.
I've read up on the forum about not bringing recalc down too much - but unless it causes crashes, I'd much rather have quicker renders ;)
My question is this:
We're going to be rendering this over our network - 8-9 systems.
I've turned on development mode on my system & set the recalc passes to 2. Is it system based? Do I need to go on each system and do the same?
I think I may need to manually turn on development mode but do I also need to set their passes to 2? Or, is that scene based?
For example, my scene - everyone's recalc would be set to 2..... other scenes, it'd be set to 5
We currently have renders running so I don't want to interrupt them
-----------------------
Something else I've noticed.
Even with recalc set to 2 - the noise level is still 'Unknown' until it reaches pass 5. Is this an internal Corona thing?
Many thanks
