    Rendering Time

    Hello

    I am rendering an animated walkthrough that is aproximately 1 min long and contains over 170 light fixtures. The walkthrough has 800 frames in it as well. How long would a render process like this take? Does anyone have any shortcuts for reducing rendering time? (The lights are the feature of the walk though so I cant reduce their number)

    Does anyone also know of an affordable rendering house that may be able to do this quick? my deadline is quickly approaching.

      800 frames x 2 hours = 1600 hours = ~2 months :hide:

      Seriously, your in a lot of trouble if you have to do this in Revit with a deadline quickly approaching. Without the light fixtures, you might have a chance - But if that's not an option, you really need something like Max or Octane to handle it.

        Or put the scene in Lumion (or TwinMotion)--under 1 second/frame possible; call it 2 sec./frame x 800 = 1600 sec. / 60 = 26.67 minutes. No kidding!

        No, it won't be as "super-duper-photorealistic" as Maxwell, but it will look VERY good, explain the design, have "game engine" sun/sky/lighting/night scenes/rain/wind/fire/smoke/ moving cars/people, etc.--AND meet the deadline and probably sell the job--much better and faster than Revit ( or 3dsMax, Octane, etc.) on a SINGLE computer--no renderfarm required; just a decent ($ 500-800 ) graphics card.

        Lumion for beautiful, fast and easy architecture movies. (and no, I don't work for Lumion.)

          I hear it renders faster if you make Parts out of everything first. :O

                  You can also render it out as JPGs and stitch them together in Windows Movie Maker or something similar. I did that for the fly-by for this project and it cut render time down by a significant factor. Exporting JPGs (2000 of them) took an hour or two which if I left Revit to render the AVI that would have covered about 12 frames.

                  Granted - it was daylighting and not realistic materials but it is still a fast method.
