Rendering Tutorials

The lighting tutorials showed you ways in which to render your scene. The tutorials in this section cover additional aspects of rendering: Rendering large numbers of low-poly objects and proxies to reduce scene calculation time.

Features Covered in This Section

Use a particle system to simulate large numbers of similar objects in a scene
Create mental ray proxy objects and use the Scatter utility to instance, then distribute them across a scene

Reducing Complexity in Your Renderings

When you render a scene, the number of faces in the scene model directly affects rendering time: The greater the number of faces, the longer the rendering takes.
