My tutorial on render tips ;)

note though it's for Vue 7 or was it 8?, Vue9 did change things a bit so may need to do some of your own experiments :)

and my renders, yeah, take at least 2 hours. Well worth it in the end, as if you're making a still image you want glorious quality

Please compare these two images

"Final" render settings, default preset, 4 minute render time

58 minute render, custom settings

 

HUGE difference in quality. And note, I used a scene which was very slow to render due to being encased in a volumetric material object (a cloud ot give a nebula effect), as longer render times due to this means that testign comparisons are easier to show as all renders are much slower, meaing it's easier to show the difference in time to render

(a small percentage increase/decrease in say a simpel scene rendering in one minute woul reuslt in seconds/fraciton of seconds differenc,e too small to calculue, so you need very slow rendering scenes for comparison tests)

Also, this scene has the wood planking material that shows off the anti-alising well
