Thread-topic: [Kicad-developers] 3D Viewer "Render current view using Raytracing" is ludicrously slow

Hi all,

Just for record and comparison, a Kicad user ( @GregDavill ) render one board on KiCad and Fusion, on a very same view and with 3D components.
He reports on same machine, ~30s for Kicad render and ~300s (5 minutes) for Fusion. (He did not report the render resolution)

So even it being slow on Mac I believe it will get very pleasant results faster than Fusion, see for yourself ;)
