I don't work a lot with reference models, but I am now. The mesh is dense and has a lot of parts to deal with. When the mesh is local, Softimage handles it fine. But when it's reference, just moving through the timeline takes 8-10 seconds per frame. Even in Bounding Box mode, Softimage grinds to a halt.
Can anyone point me to any FAQs or guidelines on working with heavy reference models? Is it as simple as building low res stand-ins and offloading? Thanks & Merry Christmas! -Paul ᐧ
