Question

Adobe Dimension Rendering Times are Terrible

I have tried to save a simple rendering of a supplement bottle, which I purchased the object on Adobe Stock and first it renders in lo quality (1024 px at 72 dpi) my client needs this to be high resolution. I have tried changing the canvas to 5000 pixels and that took over 15 hours to render and I had to stop it. then tried for 3000 pixels and after 1.5 hours I had to also stop it because it showed that it was going to take probably a whole day to do and that is undoable.

What do you guys suggest???

It seems like a great product for low res images and we are all designers so we obviously need high resolution results.

I would love some feedback please

Rendering is a complex process and the time for rendering to finish has many contributing factors.  We're always working on performance and will continually try to make rendering as fast as possible, but the reality is that rendering is simply a process-heavy action.  Here are some things you should keep in mind in regards to rendering:

  • Hardware The largest contributing factor to rendering time is the hardware of the machine. Rendering requires many calculations that powerful GPU and CPU components speed significantly. Review the system requirements for minimum and recommended hardware setups.  Please note that minimum requirements means you can use the application while recommended will give a better performance experience.  In general a much more powerful CPU is recommended if you need to do a lot of high resolution rendering.
  • Resolution The size of the render greatly impacts the time of renders. It is recommended that you preview renders at a lower pixel size to get a sense of the lighting before committing to a final resolution render. You can change the size of the render in Design Mode.
  • Materials The combination of materials used in the scene has a high impact on render times. Plastics, metals, and matte materials render quickly while translucent materials like glass, water, or gels render slower.
  • Effects Some effects will also increase the render time.  Focus or Depth of Field is an effect which adds simulated depth blurring to the render (enabled in the environment properties under the Focus section) and will increase the time it takes to render.

The rendering times seem terribly slow at the moment and the quality not brilliant.

When you do a comparison for example. A simple rectangle on a background with lighting with a logo on it.

High quality image render takes 14 minutes and looks very rough on the logo.

Cinema 4D did the same thing in just over 1 minute with much better results.

It would be a lovely little tool for product mockups to show clients but at the moment the glitches and rendering times are stopping it from being a useful tool.

I hope about can address these issues soon.

Hey Andrew!  Do you have a comparison of your Cinema 4D render and your Dimension render you could send to tickets@adobedimension.com?  Would love to see the quality/size differences!  Cheers!

join the prerelease program and try that build

I love my Adobe Programs but had to buy a very expensive rendering program to use to do 3D rendering. :-(

yes they can be expensive

I have Iclone for my animations and that isn't cheap but it does a nice job. Photoshop and Dimension do the bulk of my still frame art work when i get muse to make something and they both have small issues but the very best rendor I've seen so far is by an artist named Holly (wetcircuit) and she just uses Unity which is free
