The case if important, be sure to follow it (and check that there are no other characters such as spaces). If the TdrDdiDelay value does not exist, right-click in the right pane and choose New > DWORD (32bit) Value. To adjust the TDR simply increase the TDR Delay: change both TdrDelay and TdrDdiDelay to a higher value (like 60 seconds). Application are not authorized to modify this setting directly, this procedure has to be done manually (see below).įor more information consult the official documentation. On Windows there is a registry key specifying how long the OS should wait before killing the GPU driver. It is not possible to know how long a rendering task or a computation may take (it depends on the GPU, the drivers, the OS, the mesh size, the texture size, etc.), therefore it is not possible to put a limit on how much the computer should process and avoid the crash from the application level. When the driver is killed, the application using it crashes automatically. In order to prevent any rendering or GPU computation from locking up the system, the Windows operating system kills the GPU driver whenever a rendering takes more than a few seconds. Our office is 100% mac and not going anywhere else anytime soon.On Windows, this window will appear if Substance 3D Painter detects that the current TDR value is below a specific limit (10 seconds). I didn't make it far before I learned Lumion is ONLY PC based. I am sure mouch of this comes down to program aptitude, but it led me to investigate further. I am tweaking certain settings to speed things along, but timing seems to be an issue.įrom what I've understood from forums and word of mouth, Lumion is a great, intuitive rendering solution that tends to put out fairly quick renderings that are equal to greater in quality than renderworks.

I certainly expect the rendering time to increase, but I've had renderings take 20 + hours. Where I get frustrated is when I start to add realism such as glows, lighting, reflection, bump.

I have been rendering using Renderworks for 8 years and have overall been happy with the results.

Hi, I have become enamored with the output from Lumion that I have seen working as an exhibit designer.
