I’d never thought I’d say this, but I’m probably going to HAVE TO switch to VRay. I was a Mental Ray user and was amazed by those first versions of Corona. I mean, god damn that stuff was fresh. Now however, I have to say I’m disappointed with the development as to the de-bugging and priorities of …

Update: We do have some related internal tasks logged, and an ongoing discussion with iToo. Please understand that our resources are limited (limited number of developers working on a large list of bugfixes/feature requests) so making decisions on prioritization isn’t easy. We hope that we will fina…

[image] romullus: If you’re allowed to use daily builds, then it’s worth to try out of core texture rendering Trello According to the feature description, it should provide massive memory savings. I’m not a fan of texture resizing, instead i always check new textures for surplus channels and bi…

Thank you, that script is worth well over 18$, it’s pushed back RAM with a mindboggling 10Gb RAM. I owe you sir. [/quote] So happy to hear this helped! Thanks for the update

Hi, @aaouviz As suggested above, in the v9 dailies we have the out of core textures. This automagically resizes the textures in the CoronaBitamps so you don’t have to. In some of our real world testing scenes we have saved more than 10gb of memory during rendering using this. @3dboomerang Edge …
