Hi,
I´m strugling with an issue:
I have been using Lightwave2011 + some old Octane version (2016 maybe) happily for years. Basically I have just been lazy to update anything for ~6 years. For example I did and rendered the attached pic just few weeks back and it did take 100 minutes with my 3 GTX1070's.
Now finally I took the bull by the horns and decided to update LW and Octane since I saw the Black Friday bundle. I thought that there should have been made lots of improvements and speed must be much better etc.
I installed LW2023 and Octane 2020 to that. Everything seems to work as it should. BUT I was horrified when I tested to render the same scene with the new program versions. Same scene, same render attributes etc took 500 minutes. How can this happen? Shouldn't it been changed to faster rendering and not the vice versa?
Is there some explanation and maybe tips to make it faster?
Thanks!
