kkessler Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Hi All, I started doing the exercises in the TAoA:M book last night and was wondering if the render time I got on "A Chorus Line" was typical. I did a render to a Quicktime file and it took over 4 hours (using whatever the default settings are). I'm running a 1 GHz G4 MAC Powerbook with 1 GB ram, OSX Tiger, and AM version 12. Any insight would be helpful. Thanks, Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martin Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Remove the material from the curtains. That will speed up rendering a lot (on the new CD, we've already removed that material). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckbat Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 it took over 4 hours (using whatever the default settings are). You started a render without knowing the settings you used? It could have taken days! The fastest render preset is "RealTime," but unfortunately an nVidia hardware bug prevents that setting from working on Powerbooks. The next-fastest preset is "Preview." It'll look a little blocky, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
