Can someone explain to me what "rendering time" is? I have actually used Adobe Premiere and Photoshop before and I know what rendering is, but in Photoshop it's usually like 3 seconds. Why would it take so long to render these CAMs.

Basically when creating pre-rendered 3D graphics, you have to render them to get the final image or movie. And if you’re making high-quality images, that can take a lot of resources and/or a long time.
Pixar for example has
an entire farm of computers dedicated to rendering their movies.
So basically for Abe’s Oddysee, those backgruond graphics were created as a mixture of matte paintings and high resolution 3D models, and were then compressed down to fit the game’s resolution. And those models had to be rendered, in high resolution, with computers from 1997.
