  • Quick anim question - precalculated IM/LC workflow

    I'm rendering sequences where only the camera moves.
    I'm setting IM to use the camera path option.
    I'm setting LC to use the camera path option.

    When completed, I simply chose 'from file' for both IM/LC, right? I don't need to also bother deselecting 'camera path' etc?

    Regarding saving the IM/LC, the IM saves very quickly. It's around 100MB for one particular camera. The LC on the other hand takes ages to save: a couple of minutes maybe. It ends up being around 600MB for the same path (4000 subdivs). Does that sound about right? Any reason why LC takes so long to save to disk?
    Kind Regards,
    Richard Birket

    Yes.

    It sounds a bit strange but it might be alright.
    Do you save it on a network location on locally?
    Does it save faster if you decrease subdivs to a value that generates about 100MB file like IM?
    What's the CPU and Disk usage during files saving, is there any difference compared to IM saving?

      All saved across a network, but that doesn't really explain it. It's as though saving the LC isn't as 'efficient' as saving an IM.

        That is strange, I always have irr map larger than LC. But I don't use camera path option , just put it in fly through mode.
