TheKitchenAbode Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Here are three things I found that really impact upon the Raytrace run time. 1. Change all lights to "Spot Light", any other light type really slowed things down. Some fixtures have more than one bulb, make sure to get them all. 2. Check all material properties. Anything set at "Polished" had a negative impact. Change to "Reflective". Flooring, especially hardwood is often default polished, counter top materials, tiles, granite, marble etc. 3. Some materials properties are "User Defined", found this to be the case for a number of metal finishes. Change to "General Material", sometimes this had a positive effect. Just use the "Rainbow" material selector tool to call up the properties dialog box for the material you wish to check. Even if the item is not within the camera view it still needs to be changed, especially the lights. If you do not wish to change all of the lights outside of the camera view then make sure they are turned off. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
