Okay, this is a bit odd, but I want to see if there's a way to reproduce it....
I have a rendered sequence that was taking about 1:30m per frame, 90% of which was processing the lights. It would process the lights on each frame.
I had to re-render a portion of it, but this time it processed the lights once, then just rendered each frame back to back. This cut down my per-frame render time to about 15 seconds (after the first frame).
What did I do to do this? How did this happen?
Each frame looks just as good as the ones that were taking 1.5m to render, but taking a lot less time. I'd really like to reproduce this anamoly if at all possible...
Any ideas?
Thanks!
