hi All. im using the free (1 rendernode) version of deadline.. have some odd behaviour:
if i render in max, it takes 5 mins to load scene assets and prep to render first frame, but after that, its much faster, starting the next frame after 15 or so seconds.
if i submit to deadline, despite having the option not to reload plugin every frame (max stays open)
the prep time remains about 5 mins for each frame. This obviously makes a massive difference over hundreds of frames.
i can even see the ram usage drops right down between frames, whereas in max it remains high.
im guessing its a tickbox ive missed or something?
its important i resolve this since i need to submit to a renderfarm and i guess most of them use deadline.
