Most effective rendering process

13 Jul, 2019 04:14 PM

I have a model for a car that I need to extract as png images, 12 images, each image is 15 degree rotating about Y axis,, the car has 4 spoilers and the wheels, for each angle, I hide the model and show the body only, render it, then I hide the body, show the wheels, render, hide wheels, show spoilers, render,,, etc for each angle which makes the rendering flow takes time, any suggestions how can I make the workflow faster?

Thanks,

Is there an advantage to hiding the various components and then pasting everything together later in Photoshop?

The biggest disadvantage I can think of comes down to lighting, reflections, and shadows. If the components are hidden, they are also not going to show up in reflections, or cast realistic shadows.

If you want to try and speed up the current process there are some things you might try:

Set up all the scenes to render in a queue. That way you can let several scenes render overnight without having to manually do anything.
When rendering various parts, set Keyshot to render a region. No sense in rendering the full scene when only a spoiler is floating in the air. 90% of the scene is going to be waste.
