ive got an earth model and some satellites.. scene has no GI, so to get a bit of light coming from earth, i placed a vray sphere light aligned to earth axis, then made it slightly bigger than earth. set to invisible, and set to EXCLUDE earth and atmosphere etc
(it should only affect satellites with a nice blue wash)
rendertimes went from 12 mins to an estimated 8 hrs..
hiding satellite (so light affecting nothing) still 8 hrs eta.
hide light, rendertimes back to normal.
shrink light so its just inside earth surface instead of around it, resolved issue and looks identical.
why on earth should this cause a slowdown?
