Compiling Geometry

[glorybound]

What gives? All my scenes sit here at compiling geometry for 10-15 minutes. It defeats using GPU rendering. I do have Forest Pack Pro, which can be the issue.

[Aldoren]

Bump... Has to be forest pack causing this. But it can't be working a intended? I have the same issue where alot of instances via scatter software completly destroys the purpose of GPU rendering with v-ray... Is this something that is being looked into?

[francomanko]

I have had this with maya and instances too

[a7az0th]

May I ask for a scene to repro with? This isn't normal.

[spencerrayfitch]

Any word on this issue? ive had an issue where when FP scatters proxied things, it crashes.

[Karol.Osinski]

While 10-15 minutes isn't normal, you gotta admit that 3-5 minutes is a standard if you want to use gpu in any heavier archviz scene...

[glorybound]

Yeah, 3-5 minutes is spot on, which is 3-5 minutes too long.

[glorybound]

and then 3-5 minutes to cancel the render.

[glorybound]

Every time I try to step into GPU I run because of the start and stop times. I am sitting here waiting for about 5 minutes to cancel my render. It just sits there, saying or doing nothing. What is the issue? What can I do to actually be able to use GPU in a normal workflow?

[francomanko]

have you taken the proxies out and compared?

[glorybound]

I don't use proxies

[glorybound]

I just stopped a rendering, waiting 5 minutes, and deleted some trees. I hit render and I have been waiting at Compiling geometry for 12 minutes.

[squintnic]

sounds like its time to switch back to CPU and look at getting a 3990x for your kind of work
vray GPU as bbb3viz said is still experimental and really only for ultra optimized scenes rather than normal tangle of heavy geo and textures that arch vis creates.

[francomanko]

its not meant to be experimental

[glorybound]

Yeah, I just hit render, waiting about 12 minutes to see anything and canceled. I have been waiting for 15 minutes for the cancel. Obviously, I can't work like this. Is Chaos doing any testing with Forest Pack Pro?
