Corona takes a long time rendering

[danielmn322]

Thank you, thought was the scene but now I don't know just know that it's not doing what is supposed to I guess, I have nothing installed like things to make pc faster nor anything like that just cinema, daz 3d, itunes and chrome, windows isn't a pirate version I don't think virus, I search for those same articles and still no idea on how to apply it, sorry but this one seems a bit complicated since never use it

You could always try our benchmark file to see how your computer stacks up. It's all set up you just need to hit render, at the end of rendering you will get your results.

Secondly, portals are very easy to set up, think of them as invisible glass but not to replace glass. You'll need that too! ;p

I Did the material portal still was a bit slow and the scene and window got darker a bit, now I'm waiting for the benchmark to finish but I gave up on the scene I'm gonna try to make another or try without SSS
Benchmark so far:

Benchmark results

What? 1 hour and 49 minutes? You're having a serious problem with your PC!

It's either to "small" or there's something wrong with it. Have you search the benchmark result for similar CPUs?

Edit: Checked the benchmarks, and there's one user with a similar result with N2840 CPU and 4Gb RAM. Do you also have 4Gb RAM?

[danielmn322]

Well I don't know, is a toshiba which usually means shit pc but again e other one was an acer with a similar processor and same ram 8 gb and it was kinda the same speed doing rendering, I did the C4D benchmark and it was a low score I think don't remember but that one didn't took this long, took like 15 min doing the rendering test, I'm thinking drivers, what you mean by small?

[PROH]

Hi. Edited my post while you wrote.

By "small" I mean slow CPU and low amount of RAM. As I wrote in my edit, there's a similar result with 4Gb RAM, but there's also another with 8Gb that is about 45 minutes faster.

[danielmn322]

I don't know like I said 8 gb cause I changed the RAM, it did came with 4 gb with the first scene was doing the same in both pc's and the first one was a simple scene 2 daz figures and a small plane floor

A link to Corona benchmarks:
https://corona-renderer.com/benchmark/548

Out of more than 16400 results, you'll find the results for similar CPUs amongst the 7 slowest. So no matter if you got 4 or 8 GB RAM it'll be really slow to render.

Good luck

I would say forget about rendering with that laptop. Don't torture your PC and, what's more important, yourself. Life is short, don't waste it in front of crapy computer, waiting for hours for renders that could and should take no more than a few minutes. Get yourself at least semi decent PC. If you can't afford it now, then better wait for when you will be able to do so and do something else in your life for now. Any PC that takes to complete Corona benchmark in over 10 minutes, should be considered not suitable for rendering. Your time is too precious! Don't waste it!!!

edit: @PROH, OP's CPU is Celeron N2820, there's not even single entry of such CPU in the benchmark. I guess there's not enough crazy people to even try render on that CPU :]

[PROH]

Yes, I know it's N2820 and that benchmarks are from N2840. That's why I wrote "similar" and not "same". Maybe that's wrong wording, but I think it's the best benchmark-match possible without result from exact same CPU-model :)

[romullus]

Sorry, i wasn't nitpicking, i just got impression that you didn't notice what is exact CPU model and just want to point it out. That's it, nothing more :]

[PROH]

No problem :)

Forgot to say that I totally agree with your advise to OP: Don't waste your life in this way :)

[danielmn322]

Well thank you for the input, either way I can't afford a new pc with better qualities but I did find a solution for the issue, pc is rendering fast again, even faster than what I was getting before or even the benchmark thing, seems like windows saves a lot of crap on the pagefile of the system which is the virtual memory and when c4d crashes or corona everything that it was rendering stays there and won't clear up, I was seeing something was wrong cache wise and I dig over the internet and found that f you make the pc to clear up the pagefile things goes back to normal cause there's no crap resting endlessly in that cache file anymore
