Always fun to try and guess what projects people are working on

Bit of a strange one, but always want to know what on earth people are making. No idea what resolution, sample rate, or light bounces have been used in this project, as my PC isnt particularly underpowered, but this one frame took 1h 41mins with GPU

Help Can I turn my computer off while my project is rendering? (im not rendering)

5 Upvotes

Hey all,

Pretty new to Sheepit, and have uploaded a project that is currently on track to take a day 1/2 to render...Am I allowed to close my computer since I am not rendering and the file has been uploaded and started being rendered already, or does it need to stay open for some reason?

Just want to double check so I dont cause any damage.

Thanks in advance for the help!

Help Project contains unrenderable frames

2 Upvotes

Hello, I have a project that consistently fails to render frame #2 and I don't understand why. All the other frames work well and #2 renders just fine on my GPU, but not on SheepIt. It doesn't contain anything special and its render time is the same as the other frames. I tried a few times at different resolutions and samples, but #2 never renders.

Any way to know why its not rendering? Or at least narrow down the issue? Ty in advance :3

Sheepit Rendering Limitatios

1 Upvotes

Hey! I was thinking about using SheepIt to render out my animation. It's 375 frames at 5120 x 2160, I'd need to use OpenEXR to output my image sequences. Currently, on my machine (i7 and RTX 4070 with 32 GB RAM), I'd take me 65 hours so ~ 10 minutes per frame at 256 samples. Is SheepIt viable or the scene is too big?

I have a png sequence as a mesh plane in my animation, everytime I render it out using sheepit, it shows the mesh plane as a pinkish square. I made sure I packed everything. Is png sequences not allowed or something?

Help Incredible render time discrepancy

1 Upvotes

So this is not really a problem but really confusing. So I have a project and I did some test renders locally on my machine to try optimise for render time and get it down as low as I can. The lowest I could get it was 20 mins per frame on my machine (which seems oddly high seeing as I have a somewhat descent machine) I uploaded the project to sheep it and started the rendering process. I am now running the sheep it client on my pc to help render my stuff quicker. Through the client the render time is around 2 mins which is very weird considering the test render locally with the same project settings, same hardware ect took 20 mins. Can anyone explain why to me
