Here are mine.
Render: 2 sec
Render + shadows: 24 sec
Watercolor + line: 20sec
Watercolor + line + shadows: 65 sec
Raytrace: 36 sec
What are the standard raytrace settings?
The big differences in times seem to be the watercolor+line+shadows - mine seem ultra fast compared to others with times like 10 minutes! Are we all using the same technique?Last edited by Glenn Woodward; 01-16-2012 at 05:40 PM.

The videos we watch are not 100% gold, but if we find a gold nugget, the time spent viewing has a value.

I was thinking the same thing - Here's the catch. I've been doing all of these on a 30" monitor. I moved to my 20" monitor and the times got better. Even more.... If you reduce the size of the Chief Screen, it gets even faster.
That means that none of these times are a comparison. Here are what mine are now with about a 10" (diagonal) size;
Water Color w/ Line Dwg. = 5.8 seconds
Additional for Final View w/Shadows = 19.5 seconds. That's down from 5 minutes 42.7 seconds on my 30 inch screen.

I was wondering if monitor size mattered. Glenn and Cliff, what size monitor are you guys working on?

I have 2 x Samsung SyncMaster 204B (20").
Resolution is 1600x1200.
I am thinking that the resolution is probably more important than the size.
When I did the initial tests I had Chief running on 1 screen only.
I just tried them in a smaller Chief window and all the times just about all halved (except the raytrace which renders at it's own size - makes sense, I guess.Last edited by Glenn Woodward; 01-17-2012 at 01:13 AM.

Size of the monitor matters.
The screen should not redraw when moving the mouse.
This may be caused by any number of things including mouse drivers. I never install the mouse driver that comes with the mouse unless I'm trying to debug a problem that they cause.Doug Park

Actually, what usually matters most for both render and raytrace views is the resolution of the monitor (or the Chief window if you are not full screen). It's really all about the number of pixels needed.
