Different render time via soft and via afanasy

Post by OKNSTNTNVA »

Hello!

I found that same jobs are rendering extremerly different speed via afanasy and working soft. For example if I render via Nyk the ETA takes 30 min, but if I start job using afanasy it takes 3 hours. Why its happen? Could you please give some advise fo fix it and reduce the render time.
I have only one working station and server are the same machine :)

Thank you in advance!

Hi!
Afanasy just run commands.
You can double click job, then, double click task to get the command.
Try to launch that command manually by hands (copy & paste it in the console).

Thank you for answer)

But my question was about render time spending, and I suppose I solve the problem with adding full sequence range to one task. So now one job = one task and I got my sequence earlier than if I create many tasks for one job (if I use 1 working station). Anyway thanks for your help and for your work supporting Afanasy :)

Have a nice day! :)

Hi!

Yes, render manager launches soft, ask to render specific frame(s), than closes soft.
So each task running time contains software start and stop.

Sometimes, soft starts 3 minutes, for example. And frame can render just 1 minute.
In this case frame render time will be 3+1=4 minutes (four times greater!).
So in such cases you should render 10-30 frames per task.
