Hey guys, this is my first post on these boards and first off, after reading some of the older posts not really related to my issue, this is an amazing board with really knowledgeable members… I am hoping someone will be able to help me today…
I have started an animation using mograph and about 2000 clones and it is taking about 40-52 minutes a frame to render (167 frames total)… My Cinema has been running full blast with nothing on in the background except firefox for the past 24 hours and I am only on frame 35 of 167… My computer is using 90-98% of its resources to render this animation, and Cinema is using over 1 Gig in my task manager already…
This is a problem, as this is the last piece I need for my updated demo reel and I have an interview Thursday where they need to see my work…
The first frame only took 12 minutes to render, and my question is if I let a frame render, and restart my Cinema to render the next frame, will my clones still have the same exact animation each time? Or is there a way to bake the animation and use it for each render? The first frame seemed a little washed out and my shadow maps didnt seem to be rendering dark enough… Will this happen each time I restart the program? Or should I just let it sit and render and PRAY its done by Thursday?
Thanks in advance for the information guys…
