very slow loading scene in render (vertex animation)

I have a scene with huge polygon and deform vertex animation inside ...
I have optimize render times but .. the load time scene takes twice as long to render, LOL !!

Any solution about it ?

Make sure you are on at least version 2.22.2.42 of the plugin.

In some situations ticking Refresh Scene Each frame will be quicker to load each frame than Refresh Geometry Each Frame (so try that and time the difference).

You can also try Export Animation and render the sequence in Octane Standalone. My guess it that this will be slower, but it's worth testing, plus you will get vertex motion blur doing it this way.

You can also turn off all Poser subd and use Otane subd instead, since this should be a little quicker to load.

Load time = the amount of time PoserPython takes to pack all the polygons, vertices, normal and UV's into arrays for Octane to process. There is little I can do from a coding perspective to change this.

How many triangles in the scene? How long is each frame taking to load?

I understand the load times .. (3d element sequences charge obj relatively faster) but maybe have the option of selecting scenes geometries that do not change and those that change would be a positive result of loading times, otherwise Octane charge even what you do not need to reload.
