How to RENDER MUCH FASTER and STABLE in Blender with Potato PCs 

i knew about reducing dimension size but damn that jpeg idea is great

Great set of answers !

Damn! Awesome video. Please bro keep it up. Your tutorials are a life, time and money saving!

Wow, this video is pure gold... Thank you so much David

I love the NFSMW license plate. One of my favorite NFS games. 😊

When it comes to faster Cycles renders, in my opinion the Turbo Tools addon is leaps and bounds ahead of anything else. Not only does it make the renders around 5x faster, but it also has probably the most advanced temporal stabiliser available in any software. Definitely some great tips in this video too though.

Just a note, the actual file format and size of your textures, do not matter. Ultimately every file format has to be inflated and have values stored per pixel on the GPU. What does matter is the bit depth and overall resolution of your image. 16 bit images will use way more vram than 8 bit, because it's storing twice as much information per channel.

amazing realism, i would bet that's some octane or arnold stuff but it's cycles it's so amazing

Shoutout most wanted 🗣️🗣️🗣️

Very well spoken and shown.. i am C4D Octane user and i learned a lot from your video.. thank u . i believe that sometime "latest" gpu drivers and stupid winX uodates can f*** us up more than anything.

Hey man, thanks for recommending this video too. It's much better and more nuanced. All in all, mostly just good advice :)

Such a great video! I'm starting out with blender for rendering keyboards/keycaps for my company and I was quite confused with the huge amount of load on my CPU. Thanks.

Thanks for sharing.

you saved me approximally 250 hours of rendering

Thank you I learned alot

Thanks 🤩👍

Thank you

I have almost the same spec as you and I use every skills you mentioned. All of them are great solutions for potato computer. One thing I would add is using interpolated NR in davinci resolve to help with the render noise. A trick I use all the time😁

Make a Tutorial on Car Animation! Your Car animations are very smooth and realistic

you have a powerful setup for hobby renderings :) amd 5 6500 APU + 16gb overall memory is my setup for still images and some renderings in 4k took 18-30 hours :)

For older nvidia gpus (30 series included) I would also recommend to downgrade your driver to the 497.29 version… for some memory allocation bug the renders take double with the latest drivers… This also affects redshift renders

I'm new to blender but doesn't having jpegs and any conpressed images make the render much slower than uncompressed? Wouldnt you want uncompressed png to render? I know that would use wayyyy more vram but in wondering in general is that something people with lots of vram do? Use uncompressed images?

He said 2080 is a potato pc...

Awesome we run the same GPU

Amazing video bro, how u did the smooking out of the car?

I may have misunderstood, if so I appoligise. The format of your texture will not affect the amount of VRAM used. It will be smaller on disk (so could be faster to load into memory) but once in memory then it's simply a matter of the total number of pixels multiplied by the bit depth of the image. And an 8 but jpeg with 8 bits of transparency will be the same size in memory as an 8 bit png with 8bits of transparency. This is true of every file format. The only way to make it use less VRAM is to reduce the number of pixels (as you mentioned) and/or reduce the bit depth of the image. Cranking the off camera dicing well above 8 can reduce geometry greatly, although objects behind the camera but seen in reflections will appear much lower res, so it depends on your scene as to what you can get away with. Another good one is HDRI, when used simply for lighting it does not need to be large. 512*512 or 1024*1024 is fine. Only if you are going to have it visible to camera does having higher res matter.

nice tutorial! Could you make a walkthrough of the part you mentioned with converting PNG to JPG? I understood the concept but not sure how to implement it on a project 😅

Basically : if there are no details in your scene, you can reduce the render precision.

I don`t need to stay in Blender no matter what but Unreal Engine is kinda pain intself, so many things just fall apart often. Abandoned several UE projects already. Hoping to learn it better and that they`re not gonna turn it into subscriptionware soon hehe. Eevee next seems very promissing, if they ever release it.

thanks for sharing bro, i gotta question so you got 6gb vram and on the sec 1:25 you can see on the top left it shows 11317M so does it actually stands for vram or Regular memory, because i'm afaird while working on short film using 12gb vram and i have to work with large scenes so i had to ask you that!

with this and my 4090 the render time is 15 sec and full animation what use to take me 20 mins now take me 2 mins thanks !!!

Hi, thanks bro for the stuff in the video. I’m new in blender and i would ask how can i know if the rendering is damaging my pc? I have a gpu similar to yours

Does reducing Light sources maximum Bounces reduce render time? By default every light source has a 1024 max bounces wich sounds like over kills if iam being right

Question: For samples, why increments of 128, 256, 512, 1024, etc. and not regular increments like 200, 300, 400, etc? Do regular numbers for samples effect the quality?

M3 gtr mentioned!!!

watching with my nvidia 940m

I have a problem, I`m rendering animation of night city, single frames are fine, but the animation is flickering as hell. Mostly lights from lanterns on the asphalt. Can`t find a solution for that. You know something by any chance?

What about eevee or eevee next? You think you could ever do the majority of rendering in this engines?

I kinda doubt that everything passed the camera clipping does not get render or loaded. Because eveything behind a camera also gets loaded. Have you actually tested this?

i found this in a dictionary right next to "Min-Maxxing". nice definition. if you wasn't doing this on blender, you'd be fuckin' killer on Mario64. i'm glad you chose blender.

I have gtx 1650 it for frame 18 min for 800 samples.but i use 148 samples it take 5 to 7 min

I always thought that "total" in light paths is a global max none of the sub props could pass. Still find this confusing. Even after reading the documentation. What is total light path when we still have each separate light path as well

The potato is celeron n4020 bro

bro what to do if i have GT 1030 4GB DDR4 GPU

Mal nh andere frage.. woher bekomme ich den M3? 😂

Why you keep the limits for the view port higher? Other thing: My CPU always limits event when using GPU with CPU disable. Someone told that nahh it is just an "measurement error" , BS!!! I can see the temperature of the CPU going to hell!

How do you make a car

"PC with RTX 2060 is a potato 🥔" Me, with my 1050ti: 💀

Rtx 2060 is better than rx 6500m right?

I wouldn't call your specs "potato". While likely not super high-end, maybe about mid-level on the higher side of mid-level maybe.

0:29 LOL

I wanna render a 30 seconds scene with 10 million polygons, how much will that take on my potato laptop 3060 8gb ram?

My PC nvidia 4070, but still very slow.. not understand.

i rener alot of dark and volumetrik senes, and also i on top have partikleeffekts on top. so pretty hart to optimate xD hvve you any tipps for thatP problem: darker spotskombinadet whif partikles in a volumetrik flutted senne are horoble vor th denoicer. in fakt, it has almost only a chace, wen the noice is realy realy low. i often do i that case, that i increase the akuray of the samples, becaus specaly the defaut settigs render mmostly only 1000 samples, the last 3000 are "thanks" selftraining algorytmen in the engine (ligttree, multiplyer etc) that specaly not render more detiles in dark spots, or spots covert up whif volumetrik godrays. the last 3000 samples are going realy fast too, mutch faser as the first 1000. so i ending deactivating the litre or lower the multiplyer, but thaz typikal make the render insan slow. the good thing is, dark spots are now fine, and detiles like flying dust, wodtextures or noicmaptxtures are fine as well i dark areas. even volumes dod messing up stuff. the othr cool thing, i realy only need mostly only 300 or less samples. my question is now, what is bedder: low samples anh high akuacy, or lower akuracy and more samples, or low samples low acracy and higer resulution? a test sene cud be a dark street whif 250dencyty fog (vol.scatt.) cammera is looking trow the godrays of a car hedligts, and some dustpartikles are in the air (1000*200cild) and behind the godrays are dark detiles, like, windows, fencis and buschs and conkry. i work on a interia szen right now, whif a cartoony drawed man, that is sitting in a lether chair, and in thiss scene not mutsh is happening, so i whant to fill the szene up whif moody ligt, dust parttikles and a tv, that fludet the man whif godrays lik an projektor xD but also here, same problems, and i doun't know to optimate that kind of scene :D grade video! thanks vvor your tipps ^-^ if you woud do a nother one vor partikle dark volumetrik scenes?:D

how do i get this need for speed car model for free?

If your gpu out of memory switch to cuda

Io ho una rtx 4060 laptop e non ci impiega mai nella vita 3h i conteggi sono sbagliati e non si può neanche arrotondare perché ci impiegerebbe massimo 1 ora ma se illumini tutto al massimo

Die Räder stehen weng arg weit raus. So kriegste aber kein TÜV :D

Bro I have gt710.

He said 2080 potato and i am still using gt series lol 😂 and sometimes internal intel graphics

POTATO???

2080 is potatoes??? You kidding me im on 620 gpu intel on my laptop...

I don't even have a GPU💀

Pleas don’t render in 4k!! Just use an upscaler. Also use FlowFrames and interpolate half of the frames. Thanks

is this guy a robot? why does he talk like he has to type every word before saying it

bro write a script why do you speak in morse code 😭😭😭

All PCs are potatos if you don't optimize the model, textures and render. A truth that is classically left behind by digital illiterates.

Rtx 2060 is better than rx 6500m right?
