Description
Utilizing blur components, this snippet shows a buffering/cache method that can be used to speed up rendering of performancewise heavy modules (like high roughness and detail configured noises), and large filter subbranches/clusters. Most importantly it can be used to give heavy filters a better control response.While using a motion blur to create the buffer is way faster in regard to initialization time, it does create a small offset.IMPORTANT: See comments for detailed information about what is going on here, and what you should be aware of.Use the method with caution and only use it in a few critical places - you can loose details and cause extreme memory usage (which can exceed the FF memory configuration and thereby risk slowing things down instead)
