How to increase 3D rendering speed

3D rendering requires a lot of time, patience, and skills, but it is of key importance. Most newcomers to this industry cannot understand why 3D rendering takes so long and what factors influence the speed of 3D rendering. TurboRender is a leading provider of cloud rendering services and a render farm in the computer industry, which will allow you to understand what the speed of 3D rendering depends on and how to increase it.

3D rendering is performed quite slowly, and all because it depends on the work of various aspects (both software and hardware). To form the final rendering requires a fairly large number of different calculations and that is why this process is quite lengthy. Its speed depends both on the scene and the model (the larger they are, the more time it takes), and on the computer, and configuration used (the higher the characteristics, the faster the rendering speed).

How can I increase the speed of 3D rendering?

 Improve (update) the computer used

The rendering speed strongly depends on the processor used (its performance) and the type of RAM. The lower the characteristics of the device used, the longer the rendering duration, and vice versa. To reduce the rendering time, it is recommended to use modern and powerful processors, as well as RAM.

Update the software used

Almost all 3D programs, as well as visualization tools, receive various updates regularly. It is necessary to monitor and install all new updates, as current updates will significantly increase the rendering speed. It is recommended to update all the software used at once while taking into account the stability (available functions) of the new versions.

Optimization of scenes and models

Delete or hide unused (which are not visible to the camera) objects or faces. Pay attention to other parameters (lighting, shadow display, and others). Removing them or optimizing them will also increase the rendering speed.

Cloud rendering will significantly reduce the rendering time

The main advantage of cloud rendering is that you can use multiple machines at once to do the same job. Increasing the number of devices used allows you to significantly speed up the rendering speed.

One of the optimal ways to increase rendering speed (without loss of quality) is to use our cloud rendering farm - Turborender. We provide 800 powerful servers with installed and configured software. Using our software, you can speed up the rendering process by using more processors to process your project.
