I’ve been wanting to render my model however every time I hit the render command or even render preview the render window that usually pops up simply doesn’t. My whole viewport gets frozen and I can’t interact with the objects or even type in commands nor can I save the file so I’m scared to close it. The only thing I can do is manipulate layers. I have up to date drivers and do have intel denoiser installed. I’ll attach what I’m seeing in a screen recording. I can have it sit for an hour and nothing changes. Am I just being patient or is something wrong?
