Title: Corona 1.4 works so slow
Post by: 3ddd on 2016-07-18, 05:37:02
Why processor doesn't work on 100% before second pass and after 30 pass. (corona 1.4)  30 passes renders quiqly, but before second pass and after 30 pass it works very slow.

What is happening with memory consumption?

Is bitmap paging of?

Have you tryed siplifying scene?

Do you have any programs with heavy memory consumption running in the background?

Hi 3ddd - we received a similar message in our support portal (https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new) - was that you?

My first suggestion would be to install all Windows Updates and MSVC++ as instructed here:

Can you post the 1.3 and 1.4 times difference ? Did you try it with 1.3 in your PC too ?

Does Corona write something like 'runnin low on memory' ? If not than the memory is ok.

Bitmap paging/proxy can be turned on/off (should be always off) from Render settings first tab, or from Asset tracking.

About bitmap paging disabling. Open render setup>common tab. Look if bitmap paging is disabled (1), if not, press on setup (2) and uncheck page large images to disk option (3). When you'll do that, save scene and reload it. See if it helps.

Interesting. I need to do some tests myself too because 1.4 is really slow for me as well.

3ddd, can you contact us using this form? https://coronarenderer.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/new
It would be great if you could send us that slow scene, or any other scene where the problem appears. We could then check if we are experiencing the same problems on our PCs, otherwise it could be something on your side, and we might attempt to fix it.

You can upload through the uploader outside of the ticket system - https://corona-renderer.com/upload/

As noted on that page, there is an alternative uploader which uses Dropbox which allows files of up to 10Gb.

I experience this too in old scene (never tried it again) but it just has very little difference.. so I think it doesn't even matter.
but...

You can also host the files on Dropbox or Wetransfer and send the link in the support ticket.
