Hi there,
I am working on a large character project with dozens of 4k udims. As of late, I have noticed that my render scene takes a very long time to load, before it even begins to render. Sometimes upwards of 10 minutes. I have tried disabling and enabling tx textures, but it appears that it doesn't make a difference. The render size, 500x500, 1k, 2k, etc, doesn't effect the loading either. It has become problematic during the lookdev process as I spend more time waiting for the scene to buffer than actual rendering.
I am not sure what can be done to improve this. Any help would kindly be appreciated. Thank you.
Attached is my Arnold log.
