4K Render Issues

[sebastiánKataplasma]

Hi everyone!

I'm rendering my first animation in 4K and I can't get it right...

I rendered it at 2k and took 8 hours to render, everything good... but when I set the 4K render it jumps up to 180 hours no matter what I do (I've tried dissabling the particle systems and most effects, took of the DOF from my cameras, use different render formats and encoding with AME... I even tried in a higher performing computer without any change in my render times...)

The best solution I've got is rendering in JPG but it's been a huge problem aswell, the export crashes everytime and in 3 weeks I've only managed to render 130 frames out of 360...

Can anybody help me?!

Here are my tech specs and AAE preferences:

I have an NVIDIA GTX 1070 with 8gb Vram

Thanks in advance,

Sebastian

Start by moving your cache directories to a dedicated location on a non-operating system disk. you are probably simply running out of space and/ or transfer bandwidth.
