thantsinlin Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 In my computer, one 60',40' drawing with shadows takes 20 minutes to finish rendering. My computer status is processor is 2.4 Memory is 512 and VGA 128. How do I render in faster way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 More RAM. 512mb is not nearly enough. You need 1gb minimum, but 2gb would be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugshot Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 i agree on cad64, big memory/graphic card/processor and you'll end up with a monster pc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Drury Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Everything comes at a price though... For now, tweak your render settings. RPREF = Render settings. Another trick that speeds up rendering (but only slightly): When you engage the render, scroll back (zoom out) as far as you can on your mouse wheel.

Cad64 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 When you engage the render, scroll back (zoom out) as far as you can on your mouse wheel. Not sure I follow. Can you explain how that works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Drury Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Not sure I follow. Can you explain how that works? Well, it could be one of those "works for me!" things... Say your in model space looking at a solid object. Engage Render command. Once the render window pops up and the object is rendering (and taking a lot of time cause of the render settings) zoom out on the render window screen and it seems to render faster... As for how it works? Not sure exactly. Maybe more memory is allocated to the process if the screen doesn't have to update each time a new cube is displayed...

How do I render in faster way. For acad 2006,you should model with mostly surface and thickness for render. If you will do like that you will get faster render time.

thantsinlin Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 I add another RAM card. Now RAM is 1.75 GB. But still slow. When increase resolution, it takes much longer. Using thickness instead of execute is fast in rendering but that can't sub or union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocturne00 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 even if you jack it up to 4GB, it wont really cut time of render in half. it also depends on the compexity of the drawing, especially shadows since they require a lot of time to be computed, add it with a high amount of resolution render time for complex 3d models will take an average time of 1 hour. Here's a link of a rendering I made, these took about 1.5 hours each. http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=26672 now if your rendering is just as complex, then there's no reason to complain that its slow, im already at good PC if you check my Computer Spects.

nocturne00 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Now if you are really i need to have render times greatly reduced, its not in the sofware. you'll need jack up all components of your computer in tandem with each other. dont settle for 1.75GB, go for 8GB. a state of the art processor, perhaps of the Quad Core Xeon Family (ouch), a 2GB ddr2 memory VCard with more than 512 bit rate. and at last a mother board w/ a high bus speed. But this wont be cheap, for the best never is :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugshot Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 try to check your 3d objects, especially on the unioned objects, or turn off your detailed 3d (e.g. supporting object) then render. turn on only the massive parts of your 3d. as nocturne said, it has an effect, mostly on detiled parts.

thantsinlin Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 Thanks for your advise! But I think I'll need to sell my house for buying them. They are very expensive but sure for the best quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thantsinlin Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 I've drawn the cube with extrude method, then I explode it. All of it's surfaces are change into many faces. Is this equal as "thickness"? Please check! Drawing with extrude is much faster and easier than drawing with thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papagyi Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I say no friend!When you explode solid , 1.surface (if you explode curve solid,you will get" body") 2.explode to surface,you will get "region" 3.explode to region ,you will get "line" So you should use thickness more than solid as you can.This will be reduce error and lighter to manage drawing.

thantsinlin Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 Thanks papagyi, I should use thickness to have more comfortable. My exploded drawing is not so fast.I think there is no different between explode and not explode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papagyi Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 What will you explode? I think explode and not explode will be different. Min, autocad will be more count objects. Pls try mesh surface and thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
