Hi, I have a problem with vray and xgen. I made a simple test scene with a plane an a lot of cubes as xgen obejcts. When I hit Render “Updating at Frame 1” takes about 5 minutes, rendering 8 seconds?
What version of V-Ray are you using?
V-Ray 3.10.01 and Maya 2016 Extension 1 with SP4
That’s strange. Can you give me the Maya scene please?
Yes, see attached file
xgentest.zip (5.59 MB)
With so many primitives that slowdown is actually expected behavior, in our environment it took about 3min to export and render the scene.
We are working on a new feature at the moment which will improve that behavior but we are not able to provide when it will be available.
As for now it would be a good idea to use V-Ray RT when working on xgen-materials etc.
This will allow to work on the xgen-object without the need to re-export it each time to see the change you’ve made.
