Decreasing Animation time

[Crazy Homeless Guy]

I have never tried it like that, but I have rendered a handful of irradiance maps, then used the irradiance map viewer to combine them into one file. ....however, when I do this, the file sometimes grows large in size.

Well, you just saved me with your observation!

 

I added all the cameras to the IR map, and uploaded to respower.

I followed their instructions to the letter, yet the first four attempts, all my test frames crashed their servers.

 

Then I realized that my combined IR map was 100 megs, and each of their servers was trying to load this. So I went back to the original IR map of the first camera, 35 megs, swapped it on their server, and presto, it worked!!

 

So I guess I'll have to keep swapping out the IR map for each camera, or just trust that the first one proabably sampled 'enough'.

The irr map is view dependent, so your first cameras irr map cannot be used with other cameras.
