Help With Rendering Speed

We upgraded our computer to windows 8.1 64 bit 6 GB memory.

Since the upgrading, render is not working well. It takes a very long time to render and is very slow. I do everything the same but it much much slower. There are almost no lights at the model, and I make sure to delete unnecessary Furniture. I do not what I'm doing wrong and I can't work.

Thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

We found an example model which definitely was taking longer to render in the latest version, as compared to a version from 2 years ago. After some investigation it turned out that a compiler optimization flag did not have the proper setting, and when we fixed that the speed of rendering doubled - and returned to its previous value.

We will put out a new version with this fix next Monday or Tuesday and send you an email so you will know when to download it (and also add a post to this thread and to this forum when it is ready. In the future we will run some benchmarks on each new version to make sure this does not happen again.

Again, we are sorry that this mistake slipped in, but you should be able to look forward to faster rendering times in the future. The problem was most evident in interior renderings with lights.

Probably, this is the same problem: http://forum.irendernxt.com/xn/detail/6120890:Topic:55450?xg_source...

I'm also agree that after upgrading the render time has increased dramatically.

Dear Al

Hallo again.

I took all your advices, did everything as said, and still, the rendering is taking a very very ling time. as an experiment, I took some models from the past, that I already

rendered before with no problem, and I rendered them this week again. I'm sorry to say that this time it took much longer from the past. the same model.

I know it is very hard to find a problem over seas, but something went wrong with my render. )-:
