why is removing cameras so slow?

[stephan]

Hey guys,

I'm running a script that copies a chunk, then based on some calculations removes cameras from a chunk.
First the cameras are disabled.
Then the disables cameras are removed.
Something like this:

Code: [Select]


for camera in [some_list]:
    camera.enabled = False
    chunk.remove(camera)



For some reason: the "camera.enabled = False" works in 1/10th of a second, no problem.

When I add the "chunk.remove(camera)" it takes FOREEEEEVER.  Like 15 minutes to go through my chunk...

Any idea why this behaves in such a way? Or what I can do to speed it up?

Cheers,

Hello stephan,

removing cameras also updates the sparse point cloud. If you have many cameras to be removed, it may be reasonable to do it once and pass the list of cameras to chunk.remove() command at once.

Ah right got it, thanks, that works perfectly!
