static raycast accelerator

[craiggorton]

What is "building static raycast accelerator?" It seems to be doing the opposite of accelerating my renders!

I believe this issue is fixed already.

(and believe me, it's really accelerating Try rendering 500 3d people in a scene with flamingo and then with vfr, you'll be amazed!)

Yes this is fixed in the development build. Corey is away for the weekend and will be returning Tuesday. So that is probably when we will have our next release. Sorry for the delay

I realize that the overall speed is great, but when it hangs for a while at the start I waste time. Sometimes I'm rendering and I forgot to turn on lights- I don't know that until 1 minute later. I like to see something happening right away!

(So impatient, I know.)

Yes, that hanging is no longer the major issue it was in your build. We tracked down the holdup, and now it is much much less noticeable
