Vantage 1.8.5 livelink slow down

[luckett_jason@hotmail.com]

Hi guys,

I'm rendering an animation through 3dsmax / livelink / anima & forest pack etc, now the render frames yesterday were 8 seconds, this morning they are about 90 seconds, scene is consistent all the way through, only thing changing is the animated people and some phoenix fountains. Anyone else have this slow down problem?

Previously & successfully I have found sending the whole file to Vantage (350gb file) as a standalone to work the best, it takes 7 hours to transfer but renders quick and doesn't fail (10 seconds per frame), unfortunately this only works under the beta version (1.9.7), unfortunately we have license issues so are unable to use the beta at the moment.

Any help appreciated.

I can't send the send as it's too large.

Thanks,

Jason

Hi, thanks for posting.

Do you have the scene before the changes? If you do please run a test and let us know how it goes. If the scene renders faster before the changes you mention and slower after that there is a high chance there is some issue with these changes.
