Render speed and quality
As you’ve seen, there are three Quality settings available in Render mode: Low (Fast), Medium, and High (Slow). How do these settings compare?
Use Adobe Photoshop to open the two files you just rendered or, if you wish, the Lesson_04_end HIGH-Current View.png and Lesson_04_end LOW-Current view.png files included in the lesson files.
Examine the files closely. You’ll see that the low-quality render (on the left in the accompanying image) contains a lot of noise, which is particularly visible in the shadows. The high-quality render (on the right) contains much smoother shadows and less noise.
You’ll need to determine which render quality you need when you render. Rendering can be very slow. This is a simple file, and it’s only 1200 x 800 pixels in size. Larger, more complex files can take much, much longer to render.
