Maya instancer Every Frame ReCalculate Problem..!!

[Anonymous]

Hello,
When using Maya 2017 MASH instancer it re-calculates every frame even without animation on instances.
In case of we have millions of instances this is a big problem. When I moved to a frame it re-calculated and I wait for 40-60 secs. Is there a freeze function to prevent Maya to re-calculate instancer every frame? No animation on instances. I have only camera animation.

Render Engine: Redshift
Proxy: Redshift proxy objects.

Hi!

Currently i only can suggest to lower the value for "Number of Points" inside the Distribute node (or World node),

or use a complete different baking/instancing solution.

You can also disable the MASH node temporarily as simply hiding has no effect.
