  • Vray supporting thinkingParticles instances feature

    Hi,
    Is there any plan to make vray supporting instancing features of Cebas thinkingParticles (not via vray instancer, but using the instancing feature tP have 'natively') ?

    This could be a big deal.

    on a 64GB system with Vray next 3uptade 1

    -GeomInstance and Instance set in tP (MD and node)-> RAM :60GB then swap | Rendertime: unhandle exception error, render Stop (50K default teapot is nearly the limit we could render on a 64GB system, with more than 20GB of swap)

    -GeomInstance and NO instance on tP side -> same as previous (50K default teapot is nearly the limit we could render on a 64GB system, with more than 20GB of swap)

    -Vray instancer on tP (limited support) : RAM 1.45GB (3.4GB with 200 000 instances) | RenderTime : 46s

    -Frost with Vray instance option : RAM:1.4GB (1.5GB with 200 000 instances | RenderTime:21s (this is the more close we could use to have same controle as tP directly)

    -Frost with no Vray instance : same as tP workflow ((50K default teapot is nearly the limit we could render on a 64GB system, with more than 20GB of swap)

    We would also like to see VRay Next support render instancing for TP particles. Currently memory goes through the roof.

    Cebas says they gave Chaos Group the hooks for TP a few years ago... maybe time to get in touch with them again and confirm everything is working?

    Thanks!

      Instancing support for thinkingParticles is already on our developers' to-do lists (internal bug-tracker: VMAX-7856). I'll add your request for additional priority bumping.

            Just to know about this, any update on this?
            checking everyday Nightlies logs, any ETA about his? (may be the log just skip to mention it with tiny hope)...

              We cannot provide an exact timeframe, however, we are working on the matter.

                  This feature has been already developed and will be available probably with the next official service pack.
