Direct quote from Ocean's latest SG Dev Log:
Summer's Gone - Season 2 - Chapter 1 - Dev Log #37
Hello,
So, in the past 10 days the PC averaged about
22-25 renders a day. Even though I create more,
it’s the usual story of loading 20+ characters.
_____
At least Try to read the entire first paragraph of the Dev Log... or even the first two sentences ... and remember it long enough to make some sense when you complain about Ocean's progress.
He literally says why the render count/day drops in sentence two - something he has commented on before in prior dev logs.
So - when he is working on scenes with Many people, render count/day drops.
When he is working on scenes with fewer people, render count/day increases.
Complexity impacts render/day count - Who Knew??
What a surprise it will be when Ocean wraps up a complex scene and shifts work to one with a smaller part of the cast of SG and render count/day 'magically' increases...
Cheers!!
