I need help to render this scene

Support Compositing and Post Processing
1

Good morning

I created the animation of a cigarette burning in an ashtray with a simulation of smoke.

I finished baking the smoke simulation.

Before the simulation the rendering time was ridiculous but now with the smoke simulation the rendering time is greater than 5 min… (with optimizing the rendering options)

What can you recommend to reduce rendering time?

Is it possible to render only the smoke and do something like compositing afterwards?

thank you in advance for your help

Synthetic methods are the most commonly used methods. It just takes a complicated process depending on the situation.

Try the method of the video.
This is also a way of synthesizing. :slightly_smiling_face:
