Ho,

I'm testing the 1.3.6.1 version with vray 3.3 and it seems like it does not pass instances to vray.

I am trying to render a test scene that I found on the vray forum here (it require vray and frost): https://forums.chaosgroup.com/showthread ... -Proxies-)

Here is the link to the scene: https://forums.chaosgroup.com/attachment ... 1340967530

It is supposed to render in only 1 minutes but on my computer it takes like 25 minutes.

I also made some test with Forest Pack Lite free version distributing teapots on a plane. I put like 5 miilions tea pots on a plane and it rendered in a few seconds with FPL but with multiscatter it was taking forever so I had to stop the render.

I am using vray 3.30.03

thanks

we will check as soon as we get Frost

meanwhile we tested 5 mln teapots, it took 8 sec preparation and 1 minute rendering on usual laptop
in the file we also see you are using 5 MultiScatters 100 mln each (not 1mln)

Thanks,

Could you send me the file you tested please?

Maybe the file on the vray forum (not my file) has more teapots but still this guy who made that scene is saying it rendered in 1 minutes while mine took 25 min. So I'm wondering if there is something wrong in my setup.

I just tested again 5 millions teapots on a plane with default lighting, it took 1m 51sec on my dual xeon E5-2680v2 with 96GB of ram. So still 2 times what it took on your laptop...

In my first test when I compared forest pack pro with multiscatter, I had more complicated lighting and reflection on the shader.

Here is the file
