WHY DOES BLENDER TAKE SO LONG TO RENDER FRAMES THAT ARE 100% ALPHA?
What is exactly 100% alpha? Are you busy rendering 100% transparant objects?
I HAVE AN ANIMATION WHERE THINGS GO PAST THE CAMERA, AND I’M NOT RENDERING THE ENVIRONMENT—YET
A few screenshots added to your posting of your render could help to get a nice idea about what you are busy rendering, so we all can “get visually on the same page” and see what you are refering too in your question.
BLENDER’S HAVING TO WORK TO RENDER—ON AVERAGE, MOST OF MY FRAMES ARE ABOUT 6SEC/FRAME, YET WHEN IT’S 100% ALPHA AND NOTHING IS IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA, IT’S STILL UP TO 4SEC/FRAME.
Without any hardware information, actual render type and settings, scene details from your current project
I cannot make any sense of what you are pointing too.. After all Render-speed is a very subjective thing.
DO I HAVE A SETTING TURNED ON OR SOMETHING THAT’S SLOWING IT DOWN?
See answer above.. Start by adding screenshots of your render and settings then somebody else –
who is willing to help you, else can imagine your current render-load and speed too.
TIP: “Write to be understood (by others too)“ is a good guideline when posting questions on any forum
