SLOW

[dave-poler]

Hi,

I'm modeling a face but everything is getting so slow and even crashes. My model has only 461 polys and there a no other objects in the scene. My scene crashes every time I freeze the operator stack. Opening the scene takes about 8 minutes. Can anyone help? Thanks

Bonjour kidlat,

Do you wait very long to freeze the op stack? I found that it is good to freeze it when you have under 100 operations (move components + add vertex/edges, + others). In my case, I freeze everytime I can, especially when I added some polygons. This way my workflow keeps quite fluid (but not as fluid as it was in SI3D).

You can also try to work in Immediate mode. Click on Immed in the bottom of MCP. This freezes the operators as soon as they are created. Personally I don't use it, because it slows my workflow (everytime I do something I have to wait at least one or two second).

Hope this helps

try freezing the stack in smaller steps instead of everything at one

Thanks Atyss and Fess. It's a lot faster now.

If you get stuck, you can also try exporting to dotXSI (.xsi) and importing back. the dotXSI format collapses the operator stack
