Slow render time with SU8 iMac

Post by ramirezarqs » Wed Mar 23, 2011 3:07 pm

Greetings,

This is my first time using Indigo. I'm imppressed with the quality of the images shown, however, the render time is very slow on my iMac. I'm rendering an interior scene without textures, all white, with a resolution of 320, and the image was never finished. I click render and go, when I came back, the rendering was working during 25min without a finished image.
Please help. Let me know which settings are needed for pre-production images. Ah, also I was using the default settings.

Thanks!

E.

Make sure your white isn't 100% - it will slow things down, use like 200-230

and use diffuse material (default material on sketchup is oren-nayar)
