Hello,

You can download v4 CPU not GPU, it runs much faster then v3.

We are currently testing a new rendering algorithm we are developing to dramatically speed up the render time on the CPU, and if it works as predicted, we will implement it on the GPU as well.

You should install v4 (along side v3) and test v4/CPU and v4/GPU see which runs faster on your machine.

The upgrade from v3 to v4 is half price, but if you have purchased v3 within the last 6 months, it's free.

Great :)

To make animation, you need to have scenes to animate, just like in SketchUp. You can either make them in SketchUp or in Raylectron. Once you have scenes, open the Animation menu, set the Frames/Sec to 20, Video Quality to 100, the transition time to the number of seconds you want the complete animation to run.

The Samples/Frame is how many samples the render should do before it consider the quality good enough to send to the video buffer as a frame. This all depend on how many seconds it takes, if it takes 10 secs to render 15 samples, and your video is 30 secs, then 20 frames per sec X 30 sec = 600 frames total, and each one takes 10 secs to render, so that's 6000 secs or 100 minutes it will take to make this video.

Enable Performance mode to render fast and click on the Preview button to see how the animation goes. If you like it, remove the performance mode and save the animation.
