Hi there
So I'm doing renders of a bookstore and according to the vray message window have about 15000 proxies representing pretty simple book models.
I dont have many materials in the scene but the materials on the book models have many sub materials. When I hit render I get a 3 minute hang on the transforming vertices stage. The vray messages window at that point is on the 'trace sets' stage. When I disable the hide the proxies it renders quickly, and when I use and override material it renders quickly, so it looks like it's something to do with the materials on the books. Materials are shared so no duplicates and the proxies are all instanced (not that it matters anymore). I am also using different materials on instances of proxies (one set of proxies using many different material sets to increase variation) if that matters.
Not quite sure where to go from here as I have to do an animation and I'm worried this hang will blow out the render times to an unacceptable time.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,
-James
