Re: Video renderin speed low
Clovis,
Before doing a test render on your file, I made a few changes. I decreased the number of lights from 11 to 6, because that would speed up rendering, while still allowing enough light. I did the render on a computer with two cores running Ubuntu 11.10, and 2GB of RAM allotted to SH3D. No other processes were running that consumed a lot of computer time. Check this paragraph in the FAQ to learn how you can allot more memory to SH3D.
How can I adjust the memory used by Sweet Home 3D?
The initial estimate of SH3D was that the rendering would take +/- 1h30m; the actual rendering took +/- 1h40m. The settings were as I found in your file: Q3 at 320x240 pixels at 25 frames. My guess would be that a rendering at Q4 would take probably 4x as much time.
My guess is that a machine with 4 processor cores should do the render in approximately half the time of my machine. You may want to check that - your computer uses all 4 cores - you don't have a program running at the same time that uses a lot of processor time.
I have sent the modified file and the movie to your email.
