Keyshot Users

There are 2 big factors for rendering in Keyshot, the number of cores being used and the complexity of calculating the light as it passes through the scene. Using only one (presumably) 8 core machine is not ideal. This might be ok with rendering single static images, but for animations, not so much. In the same way, if there are clear or translucent materials used that require a lot of intense computing, a single machine will be slow. I rendered this animation recently:

It was rendered via network rendering on 3 workstations, each with 32 cores, to max out my 96 core network rendering license and it took 2.5 days. I, personally, wouldn't attempt to render animations without network rendering.

Your result is definitely reasonable, and pretty impressive for an i3. As mcramblet says, rendering animations on a single local system is not ideal. You essentially rendered 366 full-sized images, so it makes sense that it took so long.

That computer is not suitable for these tasks, that is why it takes a long time.

If you save your scene as a Keyshot Package (KSP file), and post it here, I'm sure a few other members would render it, and post their PC specs with the total time needed. That would give a good idea of how long it takes on some different computers.

You'd go a bit faster by doubling the amount of RAM. 4GB is hardly sufficient for Windows.

A lot of caching to the 5,400 RPM hard drive is likely occurring, a SSD based hard drive will make a big difference.

The harder upgrade is the CPU, but doubling the number of cores will cut the rendering time in half.

The rendering came out good even if it took forever. In the future consider:

• Render at a lower resolution. 800x600 will take less time.
• You did not mention the DPI value of the rendering, but check it as well. A lower value will render faster.
• Fillet all model edges. Sharp 90° edges look unnatural.
• In the explosion, it looks like one of the rods falls through the "floor"

Hello sir,

Thank a lot for taking time to reply. Your suggestions are really helpful for beginners like us.I will definitely consider network rendering for my next animations.

I did check your animation and its really awesome.

Dear Fred,

Thanks a lot for taking time to reply.In near future I will definitely upgrade my Pc.I will also send the KSP file of my future animations, to check out on how long will it take for others to render and will definitely keep in mind of all the points you listed for my future animations.

Best Regards

Arjun

That is a great idea, to have a 'group standard model/scene/animation' that people can render on their respective machines and share results. I, for one, am very interested in seeing how fast GPU rendering is with an RTX 4000 or similar compared to a Threadripper PC. It is supposed to be very fast...!
