CTexmaps?

[britbunkley]

I bought a "room" model from TurboSquid to use with an animation (https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/art-deco-bedroom-model-1814069). After rendering about 50 frames, I saw that I also had these black and white images -"CTexmaps" popping up in another folder.

What are they? Do I need them? And if so, how would I use them in Premiere Pro? If not, how do I stop from rendering them? They could be slowing down the rendering. (it is taking forever with this file - 20 minutes per frame at a 7 noise level!)

3ds Max, or C4D? CTexmaps comes from render elements. Generally they should not affect rendering performance, but they take certain amount of RAM and that can be crucial if your scene is RAM hungry.

Do I need them?

If you don't know what it is, then most certainly you don't need it and it's advisable to delete, or disable them. Specific instructions on how to do this, depends on what host DCC software you are using.

Sorry, I'm using 3Ds Max. I just deleted them from render elements. I have a fairly new top range processor and 64 gb RAM so I guess that this file just takes a long time to render regardless (20 minutes or so to reach a 7 noise limit)
