Jentham2000 Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Hi Everyone, What is the best way to get a quick sample clip when Rendering? Are any of the video formats faster? I have just been choosing "LOW" for the resolution which seems to be quicker. Regards, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnl3d Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 Multipass 1 is fast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyvern Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 I always use custom settings for "previews". Multipass set to 1 is much faster... no antialiasing. With MP off you still get that antialiasing step, setting it to 1 turns of antialiasing completely. I also turn off EVERYTHING, shadows, reflections, decals etc etc... I think the "low" setting does this by default... but you can turn off images there. Of course this depends on what you need to see in the preview. This is fine for previewing the "action" or motion but if you need to see lighting and shading... you need to turn some of that back on.... although single frame renders might be enough for judging that type of thing. -vern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can set the Polys-Per-Patch-Option to 16 and render with it... it will be the fastes possibility very near to realtime. But it will of course only be a preview to see if for example animations are well done, etc. *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
