justAero Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 (edited) I'm trying to instance simple sharp rectangular geo onto scattered points to create a frost effect. I've tried 3 methods: - The copy to points sop (w/ pack and instance) - Adding the s@instance attrib with a path to the geo - Using the instance node at obj level When rendering with around 1000 points I get a decent preview quickly in the IPR but a full render at 256 samples still takes far too long. If I try to up the point count to something like 50k, I struggle to get any feedback from the IPR. If I go to 100k I get no feedback in the IPR, it just freezes. When I try to render to disk, the render doesn't even begin. What am I doing wrong? From what I've seen I should be able to achieve 100k instances fairly easily if I'm not mistaken. I appreciate any help!

justAero Posted August 31, 2019 Author Share Posted August 31, 2019 Found the issue, it was all due to having 'Enable Instances/Particles Blur' ticked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
