Tips and tricks

Verification process can take some time depending on the scene settings and files size.

Through the verification/packing process, RANCHecker will :

  1. Check your render settings
  2. Change some settings for optimization
  3. Save a new scene and the needed assets into a temporary folder
  4. Archive this folder into a .vub file
  5. Reload your original scene.

Thus, if your scene takes time to save/load, it will also increase the time for RANCHecker to do all this checking/archiving process.
