I'm an absolute beginner, i've installed blender just some days ago, but i got some basics from other software and my background. So, my GPU seems too old, it's not that fast and sometimes crashes so i'm rendering on CPU got an i7 put to 6 thread so i can use the PC while it render (i mostly write code, so nothing intensive)... But the render is taking ages Ages So i've read some articles on how to tweak to render faster, but the results aren't that good, the scene seems waaay darker and i loose lot of color from the environment, the scene is an interior, geometrically speaking easy. Easy peasy But a nightmare in terms of lighting and textures, all the materials use the new shader and procedural textures... Can i have some advice ? should i just turn down some settings?Quite high btw How do i balance what i turn down ?

And at least... Wroooom Why so noisy ? after 3 hours, more than 200 samples i was expecting something more... clear... at the original resolution is way more noisy

2000 samples squared will be 4 000 000 total samples do you need that many? Uncheck square samples.

  • Oh damn! i didn't noticed that, is that like the resolution multiplier, it just rise the number of samples ? – L.Trabacchin Apr 06 '18 at 21:54
  • You squared the number of samples. (multiply 2000 x 2000). Read: https://blender.stackexchange.com/questions/6135/how-does-squared-samples-make-tweaking-easier –  Apr 06 '18 at 21:56
  • Also updating the drivers i've managed to get the GPU to work, but seems that the i HAVE to turn down light bounces if i want to finish a render in a less than a few day – L.Trabacchin Apr 06 '18 at 21:59

    A piece of advise: find out what the options are for and how to use them before you move the values... –  Apr 06 '18 at 22:02
