Sorry I have to disagree, its quite bad considering its not deforming that geometry, i just did a primitive here with 2.5 million polys and animated it, full camera view 1920x1200 I get 80-90 fps in Shaded mode, 120 FPS in wireframe and I dont have a Quadro 4000, just a GTX 480 (gtx 4xx and above are well known for having the opengl perfomance intentionally limited by Nvidia to favour Quadros)
So I would say his performance is not normal on Softimage with a Quadro 4000, so its either something on his scene or on his hardware/drivers setup On Tue, Jan 8, 2013 at 10:24 AM, Stephan Haidacher <[email protected]> wrote: > mhhh, i agree the speed could always be better, but 20fps doesnt sound > that bad imo... > (seriosly, most character animation scenes i`ve seen (with a few chars) > are way slower > to interact (maya and soft), and somehow char-animators get by, (welcome > to the world of flipbooks ;) ) > > i`m also not sure why you do need the full car for animation, because most > of the time > a simple box style abstraction for the body and all wheels should be fine > for animation... > (and is built in like 10mins (worstcase), and can simply be switched using > 2 passes if you > need to preview it fullres) > > --stephan > > > On 1/8/2013 9:52 AM, Christian Freisleder 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 > > > > > > No virus found in this message. > Checked by AVG - www.avg.com > Version: 2013.0.2805 / Virus Database: 2637/6000 - Release Date: 12/31/12 > Internal Virus Database is out of date. > > > > -- > Stephan Haidacher Freelance 3D Artist/Compositor www.shaidacher.com >
