I want a way to render out rough renders very fast.

I the LV I can play through the timeline at around 1 fps samples set to 4. When I send the scene to PV or Render queue there is a meshing stage that takes around 10 seconds per frame. Is there away to avoid this? The PV doesn't have the same issue?

The scene contains two animated ABC files.

Any tips much appreciated

Don't you use default parameters of render settings? It will work as LV in default. But only different is "auto detect" rather than using "all movable".

I've tried again with All objects movable but it seems the same?

Its the preparing phase that happens every frame which doesn't happen in the LV. I've also turned off resend materials.

Could it be a problem with using Alembic format?

ABC files are a little strange in C4D they can imported with or with our subdivision information. When imported with C4D subdivision does recognise the geometry for any kind of dynamics. I'm also having trouble getting motion blur to work.

Scenes with out ABC files maybe don't have this issue.

Could I DM you the scene to look at?

Hard to say somethings. It should be different than own geometry process of C4D. Sure i can check that. It would be great.

Just sent the scene over.

For me is roughly 4 seconds a frame in the LV and 16 seconds in the PV

As I'm doing lots of animations it's making the times a lot longer. Thanks again for looking into this.

I sent the scene to render farm earlier and its was 8 times faster than my machine. My machine is OB 520, the farm 750 OB. So the difference should be less extreme. So I'm not sure what is happening.
