Hey everyone,

I'm learning houdini 17.5 apprentice since 3 months.
I'm going into more complex projects now but I'm having trouble rendering in mantra.
Don't get me wrong, I love render quality of mantra. But it's taking way too much time to render.
Can anyone give me tips on how to speed up my render in mantra or is it advisable to use vray or redshift?

Hi Binary,

there are numerous threads on this already. If you dont want to invest too much time I recommend this commercial training:
