Honestly, it's way slower, and in quality a lot worse than Max. It's a shame with the GigaCore and so on. The HQV viewport is almost useless, the shadows are blotchy, and I see almost dots only, where I should see softness...
I hope it'll be addressed ASAP. Since mostly ex-game developers, or guys-close-to-games-development are working on XSI now, it'd be quite natural to resolve this :D Cheers Szabolcs From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jens Lindgren Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2013 9:56 AM To: Christian Freisleder; [email protected] Subject: Re: Softimage Viewport rather slow? I thought the softimage viewport was fast a couple of years back but right now it's even a lot slower than 3ds max viewport :( Hope they can make improvements on it. /Jens On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 9:52 AM, Christian Freisleder <[email protected]> wrote: Hey list, I'm currently working on a car commercial and most of the stuff here was done in cinema4d before and is meant to be made in softimage. After a view tests we realized that the view port is a lot slower than the c4d one. previously they took the shell of the car in render resolution (about 2.5mio polys, no deep hierarchy) and just did the animation with this in a playback speed of about 45fr/sec on a quadro 4000. doing the same in softimage with just a path animation an and everything (67 obj ) below the animation null gives me like 20fr/sec a least. The certified driver is already installed! And proxy models are no option. Any hints? If it 's that slow it would pretty much kill the animation in softimage :( Thanks in advance Christian -- Jens Lindgren -------------------------- Lead Technical Director Magoo 3D Studios <http://www.magoo3dstudios.com/>
