Purge Unused Assets function

[DCHA34]

Hello,

Is it possible to have on screen an indication of work (a progress bar, an hourglass which turns,...) when launching the function "Purge Unused Assets".

Depending on the number of materials, this function is catastrophically slow.

Hi DCHA34,

You are right - we have to add some kind of indication that a longer process (like the Purge) is ongoing.
We should also disallow scene modifications during that period.

Another thing I want to note is that in the last update we have optimized the asset deletion quite a bit.
I recommend you update V-Ray and give it a shot.
If it's still too slow I'd appreciate it if you can share the scene for testing on our side.

Regards,
Konstantin

Thank you for considering my suggestion.

Don't forget to add this future option when using the "Pack Project" function.

Thank you.

Hi,
Do you have any information about the integration of progress bars in the various V-Ray functions?

Hi DCHA34,

We still haven't implemented a progress bar.
One good news is that we'll be improving the performance of the Purge function in an upcoming update.
Beyond that we want to give one more idea a try - it will potentially speed this process up even more.
