CPU render and performance issues.

[Anonymous]

HI

In the past few days i have working on a project with n particles and rigs involved...I have been facing 

1) performance issue---maya has an 'on  off 'delayed opening into an empty scene. And the performance is also                                                      unpredictable.

                                           I have reset preferences...did a fresh reinstall...nothing works.

                                           Its in completely updated 2020 version.

2) CPU rendering-----I have been trying to arnold render particles with cpu render sequence.

                                       It does 99% of first frame in sequence and freezes maya. I have to force out of maya.

                                        It render normally with render current frame. But sequence it freezes.

                                        I have  turned off  autothread in render settings. But to no use.

Hello @Anonymous!

Thanks for posting this question. Regarding the Rendering issues, can you please enable the Arnold Log File in Maya and send it to me: How to get an Arnold .log file in Maya

Regarding the performance issues, can you please try to Disable Cached Playback in Maya: 

Looking forward to your feedback, if Disabling Cached Playback helps to solve the performance issues. 

Best regards,

Patrick

Hi

I had disabled cached playback but it didn't work. 

Regarding rendering issues i changed evaluation mode to parallel and rendering engine to direct DX 11....It worked for now.

Thank you for your reply.
