Thanks for the answers and suggestion. Cool, I haven’t dared touch the json’s yet. Have to give it a try.
We are now running tests and the sky has yet to fall even though the scene has 30 or so 20mb videos running with no texture controls yet in place. Very promising.
My third question is about the lights. I think you wrote somewhere that not using probes makes scenes a lot lighter. How about the lights themselves: is it better to use spots, points or area types if we once again were to concentrate solely on speed?
