Tip Of The Day #020

When you do a render all the progress through the render is shown in the status bar at the bottom of the screen. Clicking on the progress indicator will bring up the detail progress dialog which shows rendering progress on a model by model basis.

If you are experiencing slow rendering it can help you understand which model is rendering slowly.

Often you will see many models rendering slowly. This is usually because there are some channel overlaps between models or groups and one of them has to render first before the others can so they render as slow as the model they are dependent upon. In these cases, the top slow rendering model is usually the one to blame for the slowness.
