Nework rendering question

Hi,

Does anyone know why when I have the network rendering manager and vray spawner running when I start Viz there is like a 2 minute delay before it opens. Is this normal?

Thanks,
Dalia

Most likely due to the fact that the vrayspawner opens a copy of Viz in the background and holds it waiting until you need it.. IE: Its using up a lot of ram, don’t start it unless/until you’re planning to use it!

otherwise it may be because of a few things, File Size being large due to include maps possibly.. (Include maps copys all the maps locally then Zips them up, then sends them via backburner.. so if your maps are on a network drive, that can get slow..) compress on save can also slow down saving files, as can saving the schematic and scene properties (Both can be found under Prefrences.)

a thought.
