  • lengthy 'Analyzing scene' times

    Hello,

    I use Sketchup 2021 with the latest vray 5 + chaos cloud.

    I frequently use vrscenes of assets.. cars, trees, grasses. As I like how compartmentalized they are compared to a proxy [vrmesh].

    I am finding that in files with a very large number of duplicated vrscenes [aka components within SketchUp], often but not always arrayed using the Skatter plugin, will result in a long duration during "Analyzing Scene" step of uploading to the cloud.. say half an hour-hour depending on the project, sometimes even longer. Yet when rendering locally things start get going really quickly.. within seconds.

    For a recent example I created a simple scene to test a series of meadow type grasses [vrscenes] as well find the right settings for composing them with Skatter. There are 5 different vrscenes of grasses which individually range in file size from 1-3 mb each (not including their textures, naturally), and the Skatter is resulting in about 2000 objects (render only mode). It took about 20+ minutes to Analyze the scene.

    As a test I exported the file as a vrscene of the file size was only 2.5 mb.. that was a bit surprisingly small (I set skatter to bake-in the placement of the objects before exporting.

    Is this seem as expected? Is there something I can do differently to speed things up?

    Hi bbergem,

    Thanks for the thorough explanation, it helps. Most probably the analyze process is slowed down exactly because of the many vrscene files. The size is not so important as the number of files it has to load and read. Can you please share with us the test scene you mention? You can share it in a direct message to me here in the forums or as an email to support@chaosgroup.com. Whatever is more convenient for you.

    Bests,
