i was just wondering if it is normal for global stitch to really bog down my machine. it takes about 10 seconds to process any translations that i give my character. thanks

Depends on the amount of samples, and how you built the surface... you could disable the stich while animating and then turn it on before the rendering process.

great, thanks for the advice. when you say disable, do you mean delete the history or is there actually a disable toggle? thanks

every node has a the same settings for how it should be execute vvblocking cached etc. This can be used to switch of the nodes execution. hope this helps.

yes that was a great help. thank you.

i noticed that i did my global stitch with 1 pass. so i guess it is the way i modelled it. hopefully things will work smoothly though. thanks again
