Title: Interactive rendering slow at start
Post by: Visual Impact on 2016-07-05, 08:00:41

Hi all,
Sometimes IR or a full render runs really slow for the first 30-60 seconds only using about 12% of the cpu, then it ramps up to 100%.
Any ideas why?

That slow rendering time (the 30-60s you mentioned), is it the final "rendering" stage, or some pre-computation like "parsing geometry" or "calculating UHD Cache"?

Final rendering stage, happens more often with IR.

Can you create a minidump file when the CPU usage is low and post it here? (you should be able to do this if it's 30-60s)
If the minidump is big, you can compress it - it usually gets much much smaller.

Here is how to create minidumps:

Ok, will do.
