Hi all,


Poser 13 seems to reload textures every time I render a scene by simply moving the camera or poses! Is there a way of over coming this issue? It really makes rendering process painfully slow.


Thank you,

It reloads all the geometry too. We're working on a way to cache all that to improve render speeds. It's always done that but SuperFly's actual render times are so fast that the overhead of sending the scene assets to the GPU can take longer than actually rendering the scene.

Thank you for the update. Gonna revert back to Poser Pro 11 until Poser Pro 13 is updated.


Cheers,

I don't see Poser 13 being updated any time soon unless there is an absolute necessity to patch something that is broken. The techs are concentrating their efforts on Poser 14.

That would be shame, since texture in the RAM was a key functionality for Poser Pro 11... "speed Rendering" being the key phrase. Why it wasn't included in Poser 13, is something I don't understand. Well, that is $99 down the tube (until such times they decide to incorporate such a feature).

Does 11 actually cache that? Nerd's statement was "It's always done that" indicating they got reloaded in previous versions, you just didn't notice because rendering took so long.

I can attest to the Poser pro 11 caching texture during rendering process, whereas Poser Pro 13 reads the textures every time I render. I have Alienware Area 51 w/64 GB RAM and tested both Poser Pro 11 and 13 and Poser Pro 11 is by far faster than Poser Pro 13 during firefly rendering.
