Re: Create the 3D video slow
Video rendering in Q3 and Q4 is entirely done through software. No graphics card is used.
Rendering speed depends on a lot of factors: - overall size of the file - (number and) size of textures used - number of light sources used (!!) - size and number of complex models (e.g. plants, trees!!) - size of image/video (in pixels of resolution)
You can speed up rendering: - by optimizing the above mentioned points - making (temporarily) invisible models that are not visible, splitting your file in several parts, and/or (temporarily) delting part of the file (Do/Undo buttons can work wonders) - read the FAQ where it says How can I speed up the rendering process in photo and video creation panes?
