Quote - a little survey
- what size image do you usually render (i.e. 1500X2000)
2276 x 1136 is my default setting in the reality panel and I use this for basic renders. I usually reduce it at final for posting. If I want more detail I up it.
- for this size if you have a "simple scene" (one model, hair, and maybe a few scant clothes), what is your average kS/s and kC/s.
I don't usually pay attention because no matter what it says, I look for noise in the image to tell me if it's "done" or not.
- your cpu has ? cores and runs at what speed?
I run a 2 yr old core i7 950 with 8 cores OC'ed to 3.6 ghz water cooled for gaming since I develop addons for some games.
- how much ram do do have?
12 gig GeIL DDR3 at 1600 mghz
- on average how many s/p does it take until the image is considered "done" (for example 300 samples per pixel)
refer back to number 2
- how long does it take to get to question 5.
depends on the scene, I usually let scenes run over night.
