Hey guys, A very quick one this. Do you know if lots of hidden geometry can slow down the rendering, or have an impact on memory ? Nothing bad is happening but I was just curious. :slight_smile:

it would be pretty easy to test your theory.

Depends… Have u unticked option to not render hiden objects?

Yeah I’m pretty sure in my presets I have it set to that, along with the hidden lights. Will know a bit later on though.

if you simply delete the hidden geometry/lights and try rendering, does anything change? if not, then its probably something else. Check your dynamic memory limit (first thing to check)

Check your dynamic memory limit (first thing to check) Hi Dmitry, As I mentioned it wasn’t a case of noticing any problems, just a hypothetical question that I thought perhaps someone would know. Obviously I’ll try a test when I can.

Hey guys.. I just wanted to share that with a new build of V-Ray its always best to NOT use any pre-existing render presets. I ran into issues in production using old presets with new builds.

I ran into issues in production using old presets with new builds. Cheers for the heads up, I tend to make the presets per-thing I’m messing around with. Good to know anyway :slight_smile:
