I often need to add more than a dozen characters and multi-angle scenes in an animation project, and in the end my frame rate is only around 18.
Hi…
Having a dozen animated characters in one scene will be taxing on most systems, so 18fps isn’t that bad to be honest.
Overall it’s always recommended to have multiple smaller scenes, rather than one large scene with lots going on which will impact performance.
For scenes where you absolutely need to have a dozen characters, you can “cheat” a little by perhaps using a video (prop) with the background characters on that, rather than having the actual fully rigged G3 characters. This has worked well for me in the past and massively improves performance.
