![]() just not sure what happen with file file. I understand about the GPU and CPU configuation dilemma with macs, but the speed so far has been fantastic. I have used the same set up in the past, usually with 4-8 lights. It's an interior scene using plane lights. ![]() Having your computer fail in the middle of a big project is very unprofessional and can be avoided with proper upgrade cycles. IT professionals recommend upgrading computers every 3-5 years, even more frequently for heavy users like 3D rendering computers. By the end, it had 12 cores 24 threads, and 2 Nvidia GTX GPUs! But with no real Apple upgrade available for 3D Design and rendering using Nvidia GPUs, I was not able to keep up with the other 3D professionals with my work, and continuing to use a workstation that old is a bad idea. I wish it wasn't the case, and I hope somehow Apple makes a correction one day! I was a big Mac supporter for 20+ years! I kept upgrading the last real professional machine they made, a 2012 Mac Pro tower. If I had a dollar for every time you talked trash about Apple/Mac hardware on this forum I'd be able to treat myself to a nice steak dinner □ No hard feelings, your input is always informative and welcomed by all of us formZers.īut yes, flakie, if you posted your file or some screenshots of your settings we should be able to better assist you. In short, if you need faster rendering speeds, you'll need to switch to a Windows PC with Nvidia GPUs, or use a rendering farm for your larger rendering projects. All signs point to, they don't care about the 3D creative professional and the industry standard of CUDA powered GPU rendering. Apple has also stopped allowing the new Nvidia Drivers on it's newest Mac OS. That's why you can't easily use this much faster GPU rendering option on a Mac without a lot of 3rd party workarounds. ![]() Unfortunately, Apple has refused to support the 3D creative professional with it's poor choice of hardware in the entire Mac line by not including new Nvidia GPUs. You will get much faster rendering times using the GPU rendering engine with VRay and GTX/RTX GPUs from Nvidia. VRay comes with 2 different rendering engines. Even as an Industrial Designer myself, I find this puzzling when it comes to their supposed 'Pro' grade machines, which need function over form all day long. Apple continually prioritizes form over function. 8 CPU cores is really not much in 2019 when it comes to rendering power, and since it's an iMac, it's using a lowered powered version so it doesn't overheat it's silly thin design. For example, Low light (night time and interior) renderings can be particularly slow if you are using a low powered rendering workstation. We need more information about your scene to understand what's really going on here.
