<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Just a small update:<br><br></div>I had in fact originally not used the offscreen rendering, so yesterday I started the animation with offscreen rendering checked, cache geometry on with 1MB of cache limit. The weird thing is that I started creating the animation around 9.30 am yesterday morning and it than took until 3 am this morning before 4 frames were created (2 large 8 hour intervals). After that the performance was ok, with approximately 9 frames per ten minutes on average. I will start one animation without caching just to complete the 4 different settings that are possible with these two options checked/unchecked.<br>
<br></div>Quality of the frames is not affected it seems, at least not visibly when viewing the animation, so that is good.<br><br></div>Tom<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2013/1/15 Utkarsh Ayachit <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com" target="_blank">utkarsh.ayachit@kitware.com</a>></span><br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div class="im">> I'd like to find out why the offscreen is so much slower - does the offscreen redering session get created and destroyed on every frame. When generating 2000frames or so it can make a big difference.<br>
<br>
</div>I just verified that it doesn't do that i.e. doesn't create and<br>
destroy the context on every frame when saving out animations.<br>
