Applying lens effects takes very long on high res images, freezes whole system

Please give some more details -

1. Is this happening with any scene?
2. When calculating the effects are your GPUs utilized at 100% ?

Any scene, as long as the resolution is high enough. As soon as the resolution exceeds 6k width, things start to get really slow. GPU's are utilizied 100%, thats the reason for the whole system freeze. I disabled GPU acceleration, but that of course makes the lens effects even slower.

V-Ray just broke it's own record. Total time for lens effects is over 11 minutes. Crazy.

I have just seen that the lens effects were greatly improved in V-Ray Next for Maya. Will the Max users get the same (new glare/bloom controls, seperate render elements) as well?

Yes, in Update 1.

Great, looking forward to it. I hope the square artifact bug with the adaptive domelight gets fixed as well.

Have you sent us a scene?

[kosso_olli]

I can't. because Maxzip keeps telling me that the file size is too big. We are not on Max2019, yet.
