We are new to Revit, and we are working on getting a workflow together for rendering our models. Example, we just finished up project with three different models, we needed rendered, and with the short amount of time we had, we couldnt make Revit work for us, and ended up using 3DS Max and Photoshop on this. For future projects, what kind of time do we need, should we have a dedicated machine for rendering in the office, instead of using the machine we are doing the work on. Currently we are running quad core processors w/4GB or RAM Here is an example of what we are trying to get to, using Revit.

Hi, Revit is not (YET) multi-processor but if you have a 64bit system (XP or VISTA) you "take" all RAM from system, so, MAX is multi-processor, so, "He" spend less time to render then revit, you can use SMP SEESAWto isolate Revit in one Processor and take the others to work in others programs at the same time, the image you post, in Revit, i don't know but, it take in BEST quality, 2 hours (i Guess)....

I Hope and I Wish to LEARN more, and more, and more.... REVIT |

Actually, the new rendering engine in Revit does support multiprocessors. When I render with it, it fully uses all 4 of my processor cores. That said, I would recommend you have a dedicated rendering machine. Otherwise, your machine will be tied up rendering images for very long periods of time. I don't have this, so I start my renderings before going home at night.

Futhermore, my experiences have been that the Mental Ray rendering engine in Revit will only use up to 4 cores and nothing more. A quad-core processor with 4GB of RAM should suffice. If you had more processors, Revit and it's rendering engine would still not be able to utilize the other processors. We tested a super machine here (Dual Quad Cores, 8 GB RAM, 2 512 GB graphics card) and Revit was still only able to use the 4 cores as we saw no improvement regarding time with the test machine when compared to our Quad-Core, 3 GB RAM.

" now what you could do with a machine like this is run one virtual setup for rendering only with one proceesor and let it render 24/7 and use the other processor for Revit and the other apps

If you have 3ds Max why the hell would you want to use Revit for rendering? Thats like taking your Camry to the race track and leaving the Ferrari in the garage.
