Live Mapping: Fantasy Realms Reimagined

Loopysue

Hi Everyone! :D

Hope you are having a lovely Christmas and a really great New Year!

In this first Live Mapping session of 2024, Ralf will be starting the year by demonstrating the first issue of the Cartographer's Annual 2024 . Come along and join in the chat here:

Made it here to, this for visual, and youtube for sound.

Which is the NASA pc @Ralf has for having Effects activated without laggin :O?? XD

Ralf

I'm using an

• Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8400 CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2808 MHz, 6 Kern(e), 6 logische(r) Prozessor(en)
• with 16GB of RAM
• and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB graphics card.

Nothing very special in this day and age.

Wooow, I dont understand whats is my problem with lags :D

I see the PC is mostly similar

@TakoTsubo - how does the map that Ralf shared above work on your machine?

TakoTsubo

@Loopysue even without all the symbols and assets lagged with effects

Loopysue

If you are talking about the map Ralf shared with us above in this thread then there does appear to be something not quite right there.

Outside of viruses, it might be a system resource thing where something else is using everything. You might want to try opening the map after a reboot and before you open any other programs.

I know that I used to have some lag with effects. It mostly affected the older map styles instead of the newer ones.

TakoTsubo

When i zoom with effects on my processor cries :D (red areas represents zoom with effects) @JulianDracos @Loopysue

Monsen

What screen resolution are you running? Is the CC3+ window maximized or mostly filling that screen?

jslayton

Spikes to 100% during effects rendering are to be expected because those parts of the code are heavily multithreaded and will use all of the CPU resources available. It's the duration of those parks that is perceived as lag, not their height.

As monsen points out, cc3+ spends a time rendering effects that is approximately equal to the number of pixels being rendered. A 4k full-screen render will take four times as long to render as a full-screen 1920x1080 one. If lag goes down as you reduce the size of the display window, then it's purely CPU bound

Some effects are worse than others in absolute terms (blurs are bad), but they will all be proportional to the number of pixels onscreen.

@Monsen @jslayton 1920X1080 full screen and yes it seem that, if i reduce the CC3+ goes a little bit better, and better if i zoom with Window Zoom instead middle buttom. Anyway i can live without effects constantly on :D

EDIT: I work with double screen and the other i quite smaller and i was testing changing resolution to 800x600 XD works aswell
