blackchicken Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hello, I have problem with sprites. 2 lights, one with deep shadows. second bottom light only small intensity. If I render 1000 particles, all is ok, speed is fine, but if I have 2000 sprites (which is not too much) when I start render, takes 5-7-10 minutes when open Mview (at the bottom of houdini is "evaluating python skript" and mantra is visible in task manager), but render takes only one minute. Please, where is problem? I need render 10 000 - 20 000 sprites, but with this it is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try lowering the resolution/pixel samples/shadow quality of your DSM to speed it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
