Maxwell Render | Official public forum

I want to know that how many computer to use for rendering of Maxwell render?

I have 6 computers,

2 nos 980x and 4 nos 2600k

but I render a 3000 x 2000 drawing for interior I need about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, that is normal?

only, for an interior I think is a good time

omg, I render only @ sl 16

Not knowing the particular interior you are rendering I would say that is a OK time -- it might be really slow, but not seeing the scene or the results it's hard to gauge if this would be a difficult to resolve scene or if there are problems with how it was setup.

3 material types that will slow down scenes easily:

1) true Dielectric materials (glass and especially complex IOR files)
2) SSS materials
3) Displacement materials

There are ways to optimize for each but they will still take longer than the alternatives.

Likewise, there are geometry and lighting issues that could cause a scene to take longer than it needs to -- but without knowing the particulars there is no way to help.

Best,
Jason.

sounds like pretty normal times for maxwell. I usually let interiors render over night (on one machine). Most of the time this is sufficient.
Are one or two hours too long for you?

..all you can possibly get

Yes. The only answer for "How many cores for Maxwell?" is: More.
