Parsing performance optimization (e.g. for animations)

Parsing Performance in Interactive Rendering for Cinema 4D (I don’t know if 3DMax has the same issue)

Description:

Currently, every small change in Cinema 4D triggers a full parsing process before Interactive Rendering resumes. This happens even with very minor edits (like moving an object, adjusting a material property, or tweaking a light).

The repeated full parsing slows down workflow, interrupts iteration, and reduces productivity — especially when working on complex scenes where parsing takes a significant amount of time compared to the actual render update.

Suggested Improvement:

• Introduce smarter parsing, where Corona can detect the type of change and only re-parse the necessary elements (e.g., just re-parse the moved object or updated material rather than the entire scene).

• Cache scene data more effectively to avoid redundant parsing steps.

• Provide a user option for “Fast IR Parsing” that prioritizes interactivity over completeness, useful during lookdev and lighting sessions.

This is done for IR, production render still parses each frame from scratch.
