Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Render Problem

Hello friends !

Well, I don´t know what it is, but now my render scene, which has normally a render time from less than 3 minutes, needs now more than 25 minutes.

I didn´t changed any settings, it´s all the same as before.

Does anyone know about that problem and how I could fix it ?

I use Maya 5.0

thx
bernhard

Havent got a clue unless you give more infomation. Scenes can be as high as 25 minutes for a number of reasons, perhaps youre using refractions, reflections from youre shaders, a bazzillion other reasons.

easy

hello !

well, I can tell you, the scene setup is really very simply.

I´ve had the same scene a few days ago, and the render for one image was about 3 minutes. Now I have for the same scene file, 30 minutes to wait.

hmm, well, I know that sounds crazy, but it seems to bee, that the mental ray render does not work anymore.

hmm, well, sorry, I can´t really explain the problem - I thought, maybe there is one who has the same troubles.

thx,
bernhard

a bit more detailed? mr either works or does not. maybe you accidentally switched on gi or fg or caustics? they tend to blow up your render time a lot. as you have 5.0 there should not be a problem with mr as it comes with mr naturally, right?

did you run render diagnostics - what does it say ...

and another idea - you could get rid of all history you dont need - and opitmize the scene for rendering (in file menu i think)

okay

Hello friends !

Well, I don´t know what was really wrong with my file - but I fixed the problem now. I´ve saved it as a new scene, and after that the render worked fine as before !!!
juhuuuuuuu

hmm, but don´t ask me what I did ?!?!?
I´m sooo confused ....


So thx for all your suggestions,
bernhard


great people, great forum, thx --> :bgreen:
