Is there a way to speed up the 'V-Ray is currently processing your scene" ?

Make sure that you apply materials to the geometry and not groups and components.

Check out this thread for a ruby plugin that will remove group/component materials. http://asgvis.com/index.php?option=c...0&topic=5386.0

Components and Groups slow down the scene parsing the most. It takes more time to search through each of those structures and grab the relevant geometry. When you have components inside of components this really slows down the parsing process. The best thing to try to do is to try and keep components as "flat" as possible, so you don't have objects with a number of levels of components. For a final, if you can explode as many of the components as possible, then that will speed up the parsing for the final. When you really need to work on a model, exploding everything may not actually be a viable option

wow im glad someone asked that, very good to know

Why not create a process that, under render,
1. Save the model <FILENAME.skp>
2. the copy <FILENAME_asgvis-rr.skp>
3. it explodes ... pulping
4. it renders ... and here you are wonderful ...
5. a rendering completed, save the pulp and reopens the doll ..

would be a very Spartan but because it is our turn to do so ... maybe if you automate

its dangerous exploding in sketchup, if u explode objects that have lines that are coplanar then a face is created withing that area and sometimes even deletes some faces.

Generally I dont' need to speed up the "final" render, since I want it to be as good as possible.
If I know that is the last time I can launch it by night and then it will be ready the day after.
The problem is when you want to test some renders, sometime it takes a lot.
What I do is to change the render opitons.
I notice that there are 3 things that affect quite a lot the render process
Subdiv in LC
the Image sampler, if you choose the Adaprive DMC, then the noise affects a lot the render (try to put noise = 0, if you have soptlights, it will take a lot of time)
and then also the DMC sampler.
I didn't have time to try the script fot the components, but I guess that also works.

(try to put noise = 0, if you have soptlights, it will take a lot of time) and then also the DMC sampler.

NEVER put the noise threshold at 0. The noise threshold is what dictates whether two values are similar or not, and if they're not similar, then V-Ray will keep calculating. With a value of 0, things will pretty much have to be perfect in order for things to stopped being sampled which will of course take forever. There are a lot of values within V-Ray that go between 0 and 1, and its a good idea not to put a value at either one of those extremes as it can really throw off the calculations.

NEVER put the noise threshold at 0...

The problem is tha I had a file with a omnilight, and trying to get the shawods more soften I changed the radius.
But then because of the shawods soften they had a lot of noise even ig I had the noise set up to 0.01.
Even by changhing others paramteres like subdivision, I couldn't get rid of that noise.
DO you have a suggestion?

The subdivisions on the lights should be the setting that would take care of that. It also would probably be influenced by your indirect Illumination settings, especially if you're using DMC. A finer, more accurate anti-aliasing will always be helpful as well.

Hi

I have tried the Script, and it has helped.

But I just made a small model, added som 3d people and a tree. When I press render it takes about 7 sek. before it stars t render.

If I run the script it is still 7 sek.

If I delete the people and tree it's still 7 sek.

If I then purge components and materials it starts rendering after 0.001 sek.

Am I doing something wrong ?

Does Vray process materials and components even if the are hidden / not used / or on a unactive layer ?

Thanks

thank you, you were right.
I had to fix the shadows subdv and then became clean
