Heya folks,

I'm doing a simple particle spray render, but it looks like the Mantra rendering is much slower compared to the Render View when calculating a frame for an entire sequence. The simulation itself is pretty light so I don't see what's slowing down Mantra. Anybody else have this issue? Thanks.

With the workfile, just do the sim (should be quick) and render in Render View. Notice it's super fast. Now try to render the sequence in Mantra and it will take a while to calculate and render out each frame.

Cheers,
Jebus

Mantra is just slow. It is hard to get used to but it is.

Are you caching out your particles beforehand? It should be a pretty quick render, with particles mantra is damn fast.
Shortcuts are supposed to be hard, if they were easy then they would just be “The Way”.
