[@puhnastik]

in my case png render faster 🤷‍♂ than tiff or exr

[@MattBixler]

I pretty much only use Eevee, but this is my go-to video for anyone who asks for help reducing their render times. Thanks for compiling all this together!

[@TherynWakes]

This video saved me! I started to render something and was getting ~1f an hour. Came running to your channel and now things are zipping along :D

[@ericknisley100]

Thank you so much for the se valuable tips! I've been doing 3D for many years, but have started learning Blender only in the past few months; any info on topics like this is very welcome. Thank you.

[@DoctorORBiT]

Why don't you show as well how to enable temporal denoising quickly?

[@igorthelight]

0:15 - that reason is that PNG is a very CPU heavy because of it's compression method. Use lower compression percentage and it will save faster (but files would be bigger).

Yooo that was tight, you talked about a bunch of different settings that I haven’t seen anyone mention yet, much appreciated. ❤

[@AdamJanz3D]

Thanks Remington for the great tips! For Tip #1 at 0:07 , note that PNG can still be used for animations, but you should lower the "Compression" amount to 50% or less for animations. At 100%, PNG files will be the smallest, but will also take the longest time to save.

[@cyanidex]

6:50 probably should have been first on the list. 😆

[@umb3rto641]

that's some dope content Shotty!

[@yanglu13]

thank you so much for this video

[@zallesyn4686]

top quality informative vid, thanks for the effort good man, it is greatly appreciated ^^

[@arquimediscurtidasilva1085]

Went from 4:30 to 0:38 for each frame. Same results. Thanks man!

[@xDaShaanx]

That's one great video 😁

[@ScubaDude1960]

Note that to use Subdivision Dicing Rate, you have to enable Feature Set > Experimental in the Render Properties tab. Also, great video, but the "music" is an annoying distraction. Keep up the good work.

[@theotherscott]

Thanks!

[@momentenhancer]

Agree on the music being annoying. My brain hurts now. Great content though

[@milanhilferink4051]

render in EXR instead of png, enable render tiles, now you can render huge scenes in 4k, 2k samples with many light bounces in a few minutes

[@ikernasarre]

Thanks :)

[@vouvouvou1112]

Gold here!

[@emmanm5633]

Do you have tutorials for compositing animation full?

[@chryssdale5747]

Do you have a tutorial about image projection?

[@standingpad]

2:29 MCprep developer here (so I deal with with stuff like this): in practice, I've seen it cause more problems then it's worth. I can not tell you how many times I've had people report bugs with texture swap only for it to be caused by a texture atlas. Sure, this is specific to MCprep and Minecraft animation, but I just wanted to put that out there For anyone that wants an explaination: basically texture atlases cause blocks to use scaled down UVs. Resource packs in Minecraft however use separate images (at least nowadays). When a user performs texture swap, the UVs aren't rescaled (because that would be a pain to develop), thus causing issues where blocks appear as a solid color.

[@overseastom]

Is there a way to make render setting "presets"?

[@papasalvo]

5:56 I have a question. Right here in the shader editor u have these little squares on ur nodes that give u a little preview of what they are doing how are u doing that?

[@JacksonFilmsMovies]

It's an addon

[@ComplexTagret]

Addon "Node Preview".

[@juanpablonieto5777]

i dont know what i do wrong but when activate persistent data mi render go from 12 minutes to 88 minutes, what i could doing wrong?

[@cosmiccat7586]

If i make a cycles animation with 250 samples per frame and the denoise on would that make the animation jittery?

[@idcrafter-cgi]

if you have a Intel GPU then use oneAPI and if you have a very fast gpu don't use Hybrid rendering

[@vacpw03]

Use SID Super Denoiser !!!!

[@fergadelics]

PNG is highly compressed and it takes longer to do the math. Always a trade off

[@fusion1203]

So what is temporal Denoising and what does it do?

[@MohdAsif-dc9ic]

It is used to denoise the animation with the help of vector pass. You will not see any flickering effect in the animation.

[@fusion1203]

I wish there were more ways to slow down cycles renders for animations specifically because most videos say denoiser but the denoiser isn’t good for animations

[@Misterred-GW2]

Could you explain to me a little more when not and when to use denoiser? why is it bad for animations?

[@JohnSatan]

Why it isn't good for animations?

[@standingpad]

Because the denoiser only works on single frames. Temporal denoisers work with multiple frames which makes them good for animation, but they take way more processing power and are harder to implement.

[@JohnSatan]

@@standingpad have you ever tried to use denoiser for animation?

[@user-wk4de3nz7b]

@@standingpad also temporal denoiser only works with optix, which sometimes not the best solution.

I can get it in cardbo bot please I am not able to make it even after trying many times I am not able to make it please give it to me🥺🥺🥺🥺
