Title: Optimizing Animated Corona Proxy File Size from GrowFX Trees
Post by: M Nabil on 2025-04-30, 11:14:28

Hello ;

I've noticed that after converting GrowFX tree files—especially to animated Corona Proxy formats—some individual files can reach sizes of up to 40 GB per tree. Additionally, the conversion process tends to utilize only about 15% of the total CPU resources, significantly slowing down the workflow.

Is there a way to reduce the file size during or after conversion? Also, is it possible to configure the system to leverage the full capacity of the CPU (or all processor threads/nodes) to speed up the conversion process?

Any advice or optimization tips would be greatly appreciated.

As to models resulting in very large proxy files - some (limited) optimizations are possible, but we don't yet have any timeframe that we could share.

As to low CPU usage when exporting proxies, this is internally logged for our team as (Report ID=CMAX-1646).
