Put it in the RAM

Post by zeitmeister » Tue Aug 06, 2013 3:33 am

Hey,
I was thinking what would happen if Indigo were able to export the scene directly to the machine's RAM?
Optional, for sure?
Export would be a lot faster, and could nearly reach realtime-speed.
For efficiancy, Indigo could check and export only new meshes.

What do you think about that?
Cheers, David

You refer to the exporter writing directly into RAM not Indigo itself, right?!

I really like the idea, shouldn't cost any extra RAM at all and give some faster previews, where 10sec export + startup time is a lot if you do previews all the time!

So here is my +1 :)

Seems like a good idea for wip/preview renders. On a final render the extra 10s is not an issue when you're waiting a few hours anyway.

So yes, +1

Right.
As I said, in junction with the option only to export CHANGED meshes or textures.
Should be lightning-fast.
Cheers, David

Using the c4d plugin already doesn't write to disk and uses RAM only

Really? But Export is as slow as exporting to the Standalone...

For internal rendering yes... I usually still use the external version, since I can tweak parameters on the fly and take them over to C4D if they fit...

Could we still have it for the other exporters? :roll:

Thats what i requested the Realtime Preview for Cindigo for ;)
That would make your exporting redundant, especially because there's a lot of features not yet supported in the indigo gui but in the exporters
