vraydistancetex + slow file

[leo.surrealismo]

when I use vray distance texture on a scene, the files becomes really slow to work, specially when editing geometry that is affecting the distance texture. The slowdown occurs when opening the file too.
is this a normal behavior?

thank you!

how can I get attention from support?

Hello,

It would be best if you could send a scene with this problem to our support (support@chaosgroup.com).
In V-Ray Next Beta 1 there are some major improvements to the rendertime performance of the distance tex and the viewport performance is also a bit better. Having a problem scene could help us make things even better.

Best regards,
Yavor

Thank you for sending the scene. The files are now in our bug tracking system. We will investigate further and get back to you.

i'm interested in this too as I'm working at the moment with similar case ( unfortunately I don't have the permission to share the files)

Zdravko.Keremidchiev have you had any findings?

[Zdravko.Keremidchiev]

The issue is not addressed yet. I increase its priority so the developers could get to it sooner. Keep in mind that its a bit slow around the holidays.

[leo.surrealismo]

ok. that?s understandable. thank you

[Zdravko.Keremidchiev]

The distance texture won't slow down 3ds max anymore. The fix will be part of the next 4.0 beta release.

[leo.surrealismo]
