Rendering

[stusutcliffe]

Hi all, I am curious about something..... I have been trying out the rendering room, I noticed this ....I had my rays set to 500 . As I was watching it render it would get to 500 then start again as if it were rendering a sequence but was not saving it anywhere. Eventually I got to the bottom of it.... it was seeming to render the frame 4 or so times before it saved ? Is this how the renderer works ? does it do several passes before it saves?

It was rendering just the 500 on the default render size so I figured that was it ,it was when I increased to a larger render size it did the extra passes. I thought it was broken for large renders so I was canceling the render....I guess before it had done the extra passes, if that is how it works?

Don't overwrite files is = ON ?

Show image sequence folder: was selected one folder ?

Everythings ok carlosan... I think I confused matters by not saying I was only rendering one frame not a sequence! Everything is set to render one frame in a folder, my query was it renders four passes for one picture at sizes above the default size.

Why does it render 4 passes? So in my case 500 rays per frame x 4 its notrendering a 4 frame sequence  just the one.

Anti-Aliasing increase render times.

switched of AA ,still rendered the frame 4 times .

I saw your render size.

yes. Render times are proportional to render size.

try lowering render size to see the difference.

Thanks . I think I was just expecting it to render the rays slower rather than multiple times.
