The time it takes for software to render a 3D model can be a matter of many variables, as it does not depend on a single factor.
Each software will have time to calculate the lighting incidence, as well as all the attributes that give life and realism to the project.
However, this difference is strongly influenced by the power of the machine that will be processing the image and/or animation, in addition to the complexity of the project.
The more graphics, the more time the computer will need to perform a given activity.
So, in this article we will look at some of these factors and how long this process can take.
Time is a relative variable
Therefore, to better evaluate at the level of comparison, we can consider some examples of computers and rendering software.
Through tests it is possible to have an idea of how much time will be used to complete the entire process.
Over the years, equipment tends to be faster.
However, within current technologies, a machine with the following attributes can be classified as an entry PC:
Processor: Ryzen 3 3200G
Video Card: NVidia Geforce GTX 1050 ti
RAM memory: 8GB
For a powerful PC, on average, a computer that contains, for example, the following components is in view:
Processor: Ryzen 9 3900X
Video Card: NVidia Geforce GTX 3080
RAM memory: 64GB
In addition to PCs, it is also interesting to bring a laptop, which currently also has relevant potential for rendering.
Thus, taking into account the cost benefit, a model to take as an example is the Dell G3 notebook, which has these characteristics:
Processor: Intel Core i5
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650
RAM memory: 8GB
comparisons
Now that you already know the specifications of the machines, which will be used as a parameter in the comparison, then three of the most popular rendering software will also be considered. These being V-Ray, Corona and Lumion.
- Rendering time of a 1920x1080p (full HD) image on input pc using V-Ray or Corona:
60 minutes.
- Rendering time of a 1920x1080p (full HD) image on a powerful PC V-Ray or Corona:
10 minutes.
- Rendering time of a 1920x1080p (full HD) image on a notebook using V-Ray or Corona:
120 minutes.
- Rendering time of a 1920x1080p (full HD) image on input pc using Lumion:
2 minutes.
- Rendering time of an image in 1920x1080p (full HD) on powerful pc using Lumion:
10 seconds.
- Rendering time of a 1920x1080p (full HD) image on a notebook using Lumion:
3 minutes.
Conclusion on how long it takes a person to render
In view of this, it is quite clear that there is a time disparity, which several variables influence.
One of the ways to optimize, as well as do it faster, is to simplify the lighting created.
In this way, the calculation time and the amount of rendering processing are reduced.
So, for more complex modeling and animation projects, this process can take hours.
However, simplification can significantly reduce the delay in these types of projects.
