3D rendering is slow and/or full of artifacts

Hi ​@barkbud, 

Could you provide a bit more information in addition to what Nishu asked for?

1. When you say “render with any Adobe engine is bad.” does that mean a full res preview in the Comp panel looks as you expect in the Advanced 3D Renderer? There is no difference in the render engine used to preview your comp vs. output a file, unless you’re using Draft 3D in the comp. A render in your comp at Full res should look identical to a lossless export with a codec like ProRes. What codec are you outputting with?
2. Re: performance, can you please post a screenshot of your Renderer Settings dialog? It sounds like you might have your Render Quality and/or Environment Light Shadow settings too high. A simple scene like this should render very quickly.

The easiest way to troubleshoot this is with the project itself or even a clear screen recording showing the full UI and what you’re seeing vs. expecting.

Thanks,

Hi barkbud, thanks for writing in sharing the screenshots.

A few details that would help investigate this:

1. Your exact AE version (Help > About) and OS.

2. Your system specs and version of the GPU driver.

3. Does this reproduce in a brand new project, or only in your specific project?

4. If possible, sharing the project file (via DM if you'd prefer not to share it publicly) and screenshot of the export settings would let us test on our end and pass to engineering.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Nishu
