How to manage huge number of data (more than 18000 nulls)

[mattf06]

@caledonian_tartan
I'm disappointed by multi-threading capability of ICE!
Handle 18000 nulls from a Group doesn't really use my 8 cores! 1 for sure, maybe 2 at least!

So, I don't get the right solution yet!

thanks to all.

Hey!

You will have to consider, that the animation part in your setup, the animation of the nulls, will be single-threaded afaik. As ICE kicks in after the animation is done, this might explain why there is no full usage of all cores..
None the less, handling such amount of data is not easy and might take it´s time...on the other hand, why not dividing stuff into 3 parts of 6000 nulls each, caching the ice data for each chunk and joining only the ICE data into a new scene with 3 pointclouds?? Or even break it down in smaller chunks...once everything is cached, it should work pretty well...

cheers,

Hi again gurus....

Another idea... Maybe I can use my Nulls to generate point could cache file? But, is it possible to generate strands from point cloud cache file? Because, number of points (aircrafts) are not the same during time.

Just an idea...
