Scene Parsing

[CiroC]

A few weeks ago I mentioned that the scene parsing of one of my scenes was taking something like 15 minutes. After some suggestions I managed to get back to the normal 29 seconds or less. However, the problem I still have is:

Hit the button to do a render test - scene parsing 15 seconds
Hit the button to do a render test again - scene parsing 3 minutes

What is strange is that I can be doing some 5 or more render test without any problem and then suddenly it starts to increase to 3 or more minutes. And if I cancel  the render and start the render again without changing any setting, the scene parsing goes back again to 15 seconds.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

what is your ram situation (ram utilisation when rendering)

what is your ram situation (ram utilisation when rendering)

I have 16GB of RAM.

The scene parsing that took 15 seconds I used 11GB of RAM. Let me see if I can get those 6 or more minutes of scene parsing and check the ram.

Thanks for the help.

Not a big a difference between Ram usage.

A scene parsing that was taking 3 minutes and counting used 13GB of RAM. Then I cancel the render and re-render again it took 49 seconds and used 12GB of RAM.
