scene optimization

Hi everyone,

I wanted to know what is the best way to use less ram in Vantage.
Can I use .tif textures or is it better to have all jpg textures? Is it better to reduce the resolution to 4k or is it enough that I reduce the weight of the file to 1mb or even less?
is it useful to load vrmesh files into the scene via the vray-scene function or is it the same thing?

Thank you​

I wanted to know what is the best way to use less ram in Vantage.​

1. use simpler meshes (less triangles)
2. render at a lower resolution
3. use lower resolution textures
4. don’t enable render elements you don’t need

Can I use .tif textures or is it better to have all jpg textures? Is it better to reduce the resolution to 4k or is it enough that I reduce the weight of the file to 1mb or even less?​

Only the texture resolution and bit rate matters. jpg is always 8 bits per channel, while tiff can be 16 bits per channel, which will require twice the memory.

is it useful to load vrmesh files into the scene via the vray-scene function or is it the same thing?​

In Vantage, it’s the same memory and performance wise.
However, vrmesh files are pre-exported, which can reduce the time it takes to create a vrscene from 3dsMax/etc or the time it takes to start a live link connection.
