Okay, how come less color variations have such a big influence on render times?

Well you can link models, that’s is basically same as a proxy. Also dupliobjects are same as proxy

Not really- proxies made for corona are without any material with a really low poly meshes. When you linking it, what I did, it import almost no data to Blender, only base mesh. When you are linking from other Blend file a model with for example cycles materials it imports textures to.

Not sure if I understand your question. However, I bought RTX 2080 ti and I fall in love with Cycles. I need to finish another project before Christmas and for sure I will use Cycles for it. In the color variations for other client I need 2 minutes for a one siding variation in 4k In Corona it tooks 10 minutes but Corona is CPU based which isnt so powerful as a new Nvidia:)

Hello Zorian,
that is one wonderful piece of a work you got there! I see that you are having difficulties with memory usage with cycles and as myself you are familiar with amazing proxy system (for both v-ray and corona).

Well as you know there are no proxies as such in Cycles but there are instanced collections. You might wanna give it a try. Also workflow is way more faster and generally convenient (really convenient).

Also this guy is going a bit more deep into it (totally worth to watch it starts at 9:12)

And what more there is also static overrides implemented (althou still in “work in progress” status).
That’s even more impressive what you can do with it. - starts at ( 36:35)

You might know all this (considering your skills) and in that case don’t mind this post of mine at all…

Anyway amazing work, I smashed like and follow and I am looking for another project of yours.

Thanks for the links, didn’t know them Especially linking arrayed collection from the same Blender file
