Faster Video Rendering?

EightiesIsEnough

Is there any way to make video rendering faster?

I remember learning about rendering images faster, but I am now wondering if faster rendering can also be done with video, and if so, how can it be done?

It seems as if I had no problem with rendering video faster when I didn't use WorldBall environment, but when I added the Worldball environment - which has two forms of lighting - the rendering slowed down.  It's almost as if I have to delete the lighting in order to solve the problem.  Does that make sense?

I'm not sure what WorldBall lighting is, but lighting can have an effect on render speed - though what that aeffect is depends on the render engine being used.

I am using the 3Delight rendering engine, with pwToon shaders.  I did have no problem rendering in 3Delight, and with the pwToon shaders, but I agree, lighting is likely the issue with the slower renders.

I do remember rendering a video with an underwater setting using lighting in renders using the 3Delight engine and pwToon, and it likely rendered quicker without the lighting (there were two lights - including sunlight).

It could also be that one of my props may not have been set to pwToon shaders, so that may also have an impact too.
