Subject: RE: roll render times
q
" ... Additionally, the DS will
tend to lie to me about how long it needs to render something -- when I first
start the render. This is especially true for objects that initially have a
lot of movement and whose movement ends well before the end of the container.
The DS seems to assume that an object in motion will stay in motion. ... "
It's on purpose but not meant
to annoy you.
When I discussed this topic with development, they told
me that they can indeed write code to come up with the exact processing
estimated time BUT that it would require some much time that it would slow
down the processing.
They decided instead on an approximation that may indeed
by at time off but much faster.
