1. Re: 3D Shape taking forever to render
Todd_Kopriva Nov 24, 2013 9:51 AM (in response to EckleySP)If you are using the ray-traced 3D renderer and are not using a GPU that provides acceleration for that feature, rendering will be very slow:

In general, I recommend using the CInema 4D integration with After Effects over trying to use the rather limited ray-traced 3D renderer within After Effects:
By the way, 20 hours is not a long time for a 3-minute composition. People who work in 3D (in any 3D program, not just After Effects) often have renders take all weekend just for 30 seconds. 3D is computationally expensive.
