So i decided to spend a day testing out redoing the scenery and its safe to say that i'll be doing the same for the rest of the scenes. Suprisingly i managed to increase render speeds by 20-30% with the new scenery. I used a plugin called geo-scatter with botaniq assets combined. Overall the scene has more structure, fog, higher quality models and more varied foliage. I still run out of ram while using 4 characters in the same scene though so i might need to upgrade to 128 if i want to keep complex riggin systems in the scene. Its not the models or materials themselves that require the ram but more of the rigging or deformation systems like the rope deforming the skin. In this case i actually just baked the effect instead of using modifiers to save a few gigabytes in ram usage.
