Very slow cycles render

Support Lighting and Rendering
1

Hi,

I’m a beginner. I’m trying to render a 100 frame animation (25 fps) but in Cycles it is taking a huge amount of time. It may just be because I have various glossy objects animating (so lots of light bounces??) but just wondered if there was something obvious I was missing as to why it would take so long! I have attached the file.

Thanks very much

For a simple scene without textures, you don’t need render settings this high in quality. Try these settings:

Also, make sure you are rendering using the GPU (if you have a good one).
