anyone used these much? ive made a simple little waterfall, works fine, but even though ive saved a cache in the massfx world, and it scrubs in the viewport, when rendering it spends longer and longer each frame prepping the pflow, up to 3 mins a frame now, with a 20 second render. ive got anoth…

Motion blur puts up memory overhead and vray calculations alright - if you’ve got two steps of motion blur, vray will effectively duplicate the geometry and see where the vertices of an object have moved from one frame to the next. As far as I remember they’ve had to jump through a lot of hoops to g…

well im not sure if ive forgotten something, but ive just tried creating a mesher of the pflow setup, with the idea to proxy it, but my mesher is static. has no particle animation at all.. is this another thing (besides cache to disk) that doesnt seem to work with mparticles? or am i being d…
