# Important Daz Studio Settings

The actual rendering time (time the Iray server takes to render your scene/project) is a function of the render parameters set in the Render Settings Tab, specifically:

* Resolution (higher resolution setting increases render time)
* Max samples (higher max samples increases render time)
* Number of Frames (higher number of frames increase render time)

Because every project is unique in its design and complexity, it is almost impossible for us to calculate a reliable render time.\

However, it’s helpful to note that the longest total time (upload + render) is always the first time for a scene or project.
