hey Tim, I tryed that already an it kind of works but its extra work. Getting the animation out of cinema takes 1min and setting up a link to the animated nulls another 5. as the animation pipeline exists in cinema there is no point in switching to soft until the viewport gets faster. @Nuno its the glitch untill the graphicscard kicks in too that makes it tedious. in cinema you just take the tesselated Data as is (open edges,usercluster, and what not) drop it under your rig and start animating. I really hate it, but soft can't compete with this. Christian
