Animation Query

[Arnold Sher]

Hi Everyone,

 

So we have set up vray next (update 3)/studio max animation of an exterior scene. We are using LC/IM and our frame 1280x720 is rendering out in a region of about 4 minutes and very clean. Then we pre-calculate LC for animation and the same story with irradiance map. Then we insert precalculated solutions into both like we've have done hundreds of times before and press render and now the same frame renders for 18 minutes. Has something changed in vray next? we have not rendered an animation for about a year and now that we have upgraded vray we are getting long render times. Anyone can advice? thank guys & ladies
