That’s quite insightful. I started with Poser a long time ago, and before that I used Maya. Rendering settings and similar technical details have always puzzled me a little.
I usually run a few test renders before starting the final one, mainly increasing the resolution (before applying filters) to check for errors, poke-through issues that can’t be fixed in post-processing, and similar problems.
Back in the day, I did all my renders on my trusty 1080. Moving to the 3090, with its huge amount of VRAM, opened up the possibility of working with much larger scenes, multiple characters, and more complex geometry.
I’ll run some tests and gradually reduce the sampling and adjust the render times to find the sweet spot for my style and what my machine can comfortably handle.
Thanks again for the tips!
