Blender 3.4 Brand NEW Release!! Reduce Your Render Times (Settings, Tips, & Tricks)

One time I changed light passes from 32 to 64 and somehow 64 was either same length or a small bit shorter

godlike.

turned a 3 day render session into 8 hours

truly a legend, thanks man

I am wandering HOW to keep those settings permanent? I always need to re-adjust them. If someone knows the answer....

Nice, very informative

I would also question whether you need to turn down anything like caustics or transparency settings in the render because if there ARE none to be rendered... uh, then there's nothing for Blender to do on those anyway. So... can't you leave them as is? I haven't ever messed with much of that section but I just assumed maybe similar to how Blender doesn't render stuff outside the camera view.... it is also smart enough to not try rendering caustics when there aren't any. ? I have no idea!

step 2 should have been step 1. :) thx for the tips but you didn't compare denoise option. I found that setting the denoiser to optix instead of the open image one vastly reduced my render denoising time. Also, for me, it seemed that putting the noise threshold of the render at 100 times yours (ie, 1.0 instead of .1) and then DOUBLING the output resolution (I render usually 4K or 3000 something by whatever. Double the 1900 setting that matches a normal 4K TV ratio), also reduced the actual render time. Seems paradoxical to ask Blender to process DOUBLE the amount of pixels and get a faster render but... that's how I have been doing it. You have more pixels to work with and thus... a denoise threshold of 1.0 should work and take less time than using ACTUAL resolution (half) and .1 threshold. ? Just what I find that works for me. but maybe that won't work for every kind of render. What do I know? Nothign! :) thx

in preferences> system >cycles settings says only "none" or "metal".. there's nothing else there.

"Total" just means that the highest number will be used.

Example Diffuse is 2 and Transmission is 10, then when you select a number of 8; the render will use Diffuse 2 and Transmission 8

Total is just a quick way of choosing your preferred amounts.

can you define "changes in your scene" because i cant help but take that literally which means it wont work for animations period

damn this video is amazing. cant wair to try it on to my next project

Thank you so much this helped so much with flips fluid renders

"Want better renders? get a better pc" xD

Thank you

Had to come back an rewatch this gem !

Bro lots of thanks it really reduce the time from 8 hours to one hour bro❤

thank you for all the tips !!

thank you bro!

i love you man

Thank you for this. It was really helpful

I went from 2min/frame to 10s/frame thx!

you wrote Rednder 4.3 in your description instead of 3.4.

Thanks buddy! Subscribed

Another tip - hide all objects on viewport ( click A and H )

what do you think about turbo render v.3

How do you find render cycles engine?

For some reason I've never used the time limit feature. This could actually be useful for me when I just want to make test renders in under a certain time!

I found this really very useful particularly as I have a relatively low spec graphics card. Thank you for taking the time !

Thanks mate

For GPU rendering with RTX cards, you want to select Optix mode and uncheck CPU. RTX cards have a feature called RTX acceleration which will increase the speed for path tracing. However, RTX acceleration requires scene data to be cached into VRam instead of Ram. If you check CPU in Optix mode, then CPU needs scene data stored in Ram which will conflict with RTX acceleration, and your GPU usage will go up and down and it will never be fully occupied during rendering process. I have tested that and by disabling CPU, my render speed can be 3-4x faster. And another things is that you probably need a GPU that comes with large VRam otherwise when Vram is full, the data will fall back to Ram which will slow down.

from 1 hour to 3 minutes with same quality Thanks I am really grateful to you

Thanks so much for all the info!!!

THX This With Optix Works Good For Me It Went From Above 1 Minute Too 30 Seconds :O

Thank you very much for this informations. Realy important for me :')

Hey dude, congratulations for your initiatives!
Have you ever tried to use BAT RENDER?
I'm not sure if it reduce time of render, but is very useful and easy to make a render queue.

Create a .txt file and "PASTE" this:

cd "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.2"

blender -b C:\XXXXX\ZZZ_01.blend -a
blender -b C:\XXXXX\ZZZ_02.blend -a
blender -b C:\XXXXX\ZZZ_03.blend -a



cd "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender 3.2" - is where your blender is installed

blender -b C:\XXXXX\ZZZ_01.blend -a - this is the location of the .blend file you want to render - and you can put many files in sequence (but dont use space needer special characters on names or folders)



Than, save the file as a .BAT file.

Run the .BAT file and blender will render all your files.

(sorry about my english)

hi, i don't have the stop viewport icon, where i can find it?

When rendering while the viewport animation is in render cycles, a black screen appears. All my lights are on. Why does cycles happen when Eevee doesn't have the same problem? What's the problem?

Thank you!

I need blender in Android Phone
Edit: Blender 3.4 version is cooler! Can you show me how to download blender, These memberships are annoying me, I can't download it with membership!

Thanks so much

You are a legend, Tysm 🤘🏻

Being a novice, wouldn't have known all these. Hope i won't have to undo these settings. Liked & Subscribed.

Thank you so much. My render time on a test file reduced by a factor of nearly 2 pi 🤣

Thank you very much. I was wondering why a 3 second animation took 3 hours to render, managed to squeeze it to 15min. Thanks again👍

These are some great tips 👍

What if my GPU is sucks? :/

my rendering from 15mins max per frame to seconds! Wow! 🙏

Thanks

Clear your cache too. Render at size. Get a separate SD like Samsung on a thunderbolt connection. Backup your hard drive. Do low rez test samples for animation. Render while you sleep.
