i need some help from some graphics artist (mike)
i was wondering i am rendering a animation that is about 600 frames on blender
i have probably waited 20 minutes and it has only done 26 frames
how much longer does it take and i know i could set up a proportion and do it
but i was wondering i added a whole bunch of light effects a a certain part and i wondered if that effects it

I'm not a professional, but spike that it is 20 minutes making 26 frames, I think it will be:
26 x 3 = 78
600 / 78 = 7,69(7,7)
Then you would probable be 7,7 hours making it all if you go same at speed

The 3 is 20 + 20 + 20 which is 1 hour plus 6 + 6 + 6 so thats where the 3 comes in

dang i dont have a computer that can render for 7 hours it uses %100 of my cpu sooooooooo anyone willing to do it for me one is on blender and the
other is cinema 4d

100% of your CPU ??
How sucky is your graphics card ?

[Bogoh67]

very sucky on my laptop but my desktop computer it only uses 60 - 90%

3D is very intensive when Rendering, and it will all depend on the speed of 2 things.
RAM = The more the better
Processor Speed = The Faster the Better

also shadows, Lights and any other Plugin that is used to effect the Scene when Rendering WILL make is Slower when Rendering UNLESS you have a top notch system...

The trouble with rendering Lots of Frames is that you wont be able to use your Computer till its all done:(

Best to let it Render Overnight, or Render it in 50 Frame chunks

I want you to remember when doing any sort of 3D Modeling. Once you start rendering it'll vary the more objects, materials, modifiers, vertices, etc: the longer it'll take to render, and it gets to be very very time consuming.

As Hungry said above everythings right, except the part where he says, "The trouble with rendering Lots of Frames is that you wont be able to use your Computer till its all done:(" that part depends on your system specs, and the software. I can render my project in Blender, do my designing in Gimp, and browse the web all at the same time. However the more you multitask the longer the render will take.

Hungry is most likely your man to talk with 3D Modeling. I only use it when adding effects to videos, and making games for my nephew.

so if i were to have an animation with one object with 16 frames and one project with 12 objects and 16 frames the one with 3 takes less?

I guess most 3D modeling programs use the graphics card for intensive operations ?

Depends on the dimensions, lighting, materials, textures, particles, etc: Applied to the objects. So it'll always vary in time.

NOTE: It'll render videos faster than rendering separate images. (aka each frame as image)
