I remember i have asked in this forum how i  could reduce the render time in vue and some huys here who replied told me to post a picture from the terrain that i made so that they  can tell me.So i m posting a picture of a landscape i made and i ll be waiting for your thought on how i can reduce the render time

Besides the image, I think people may want to know what kind of computer you use to render. For me that was the thing to do to reduce render times..... get a new, much faster computer. I'm using Vue 10 as well, so eventually getting Vue 11 or 12 may help reduce render times as well, Vue 11 is roughly 30% faster when it comes to rendering, so that may be a good investment for me in time to come, could be the same for you.

Hello aeikema and thank you for the answer.I think my computer is strong enough to run vue Intel Core i5 @ 2900MHz 4096MB    (1 x 4096 DDR3-SDRAM )  AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series            Seagate ST500DM002-1BC142 ATA Device (500GB) However i didn t really  know that vue 11 and 12 has been released.So i think i m gonna buy it.Thank you

I forgot to mention.I don t kn ow if it matters but at the present time i m using vue to make jpg files not videos

You're welcome :-) I've got a laptop i5 2.5Ghz (3.1Ghz turbo) 4 threads, do all my work on it. Since 3 months I've got a pc as well i7 3770 3.4 Ghz (3.9Ghz turbo) for rendering, since the i5 just isn't fast at all. The i7 is 4-5 times as fast. An i5 isn't the best for rendering at all, it has huge problems with rendering transparency, skies (especially with cloud layers) and water. The i5 is made for general work, but Vue demands a lot more from a cpu when rendering then the i5 can offer. Vue is very power hungry when it comes to rendering, the i7 and higher classed cpu's are much more optimized for rendering and working with Vue.

The image you show is quite basic, I'm doing much more complex scenes that take hours to render, even on the i7, so imagine that on an i5. Most of my scenes take 30 minutes up to 3 hours to render, but I know others have scenes that render for a lot longer. I'd say 9 minutes is a short rendering time, I wouldn't complain if my images would take 9 minutes :-)

Speeding it up depends on your settings, what did you use? Final? Broadcast? Superior? Ultra? If you only use your images to post on the internet or occasionally print some at home, then final is an excellent setting. It's a good mix between quality and rendering times. Broadcast is only adviced by E-on if you do animations. I always use Final for my images, for posting on the internet as well as printing. I've found that a lot of times Superior isn't much better or only slightly better, but increases the rendering time with hours and I don't see all the hours translated into a much more superior rendered image.

You may find the link interesting, it has some good food for reading on rendering quality and rendering times.

I'm wondering, how can you help if you don't even list stand-alone Vue as a supported application?

Check again,Fox supports VUE for 3ds Max and VUE for maya!

Yes, I've seen that, but we want to speed up Vue rendering, not rendering of Vue scenes in other applications. Fox does not support the native Vue rendering engine and that's the one we want to speed up.
