quick question about animating an interior scene

[jeteral]

ok im curious about something
if you want to do an animation with vray, but it has to calculate the irmap and/or photon map with each movement of the camera for a scene. How do you do that? i mean i would think that there is probably a way to do it where you dont have to for each and every frame but still get good results. Can anybody help me with this?
I have a small scene that i have been working on, and after seeing some of the images, i would love to animate it. but im completely lost as to how to do it without it taking forever to calulate the irmap for each of the 500 frames.
Please help

Hey Jet ...

well this is what you do in short ....

1: set your vray to render from Incremental add...
2: set max to render every 15th frame... or 10 or well what ever you like..
And this is basically it .. what vray will do then is calc the first frame and then just fill in the missing bits for the rest of the camera move's ... oh and tick DO NOT RENDER FINAL ANIMATION in the global's...Once the calc has finnished you set to render every frame again turn off DO NOT RENDER FINAL ANIMATION..... and render from the saved Imap calc... Bingo..

this method is super fast and as long as you have good enough setting's the only way to do cam move's very quickly..

for more info Visit vray info...
