Hello,
The ray traced studio with Iray+ in NX11 is great, except that it takes very long time to process the geometry before the actual raytracing. For a standard assembly with 25 parts it takes 1 minute before the raytracing starts, which is too long, especially when 95% of the time I just want a quick check to see the appearance of the product before continuing the modeling.
What I've found is that for parts with lots of detail, for example patterns with blends, the geometry processing takes longer. If I only modify a single part, ALL parts are still processed when starting the ray tracing, which is a waste of time. Other GPU rendering software don't take more than 1-2 seconds before starting the rendering.
What does the "Processing Geometry" phase actually do? Does it create a mesh of all parts to be rendered? Can you set it to ONLY process the part that's actually modified? Why does NX take so long compared with others? What can I do to make this faster?
Thanks.
