Hey everyone, We are having a recurring problem here that I have just learned to live with, but am hoping maybe someone can shed some light on it for me.
Importing of referenced models has always been slow in Softimage, but around 2013 it got much slower for us. This is with extremely lightweight rigs as well. Simple props with limited geo, and usually incredibly few deformers. Nothing fancy. It is normal for it to take up to 3 minutes for us to load a scene that has maybe 10 simple props and 2 simple characters. The problem is worse if we try to switch rig resolution. And the problem becomes far worse if we import a character that has fur (ice strands), this can take significantly longer. Does anyone have any tips on alleviating this, or know if it possibly has something to do with our config? Our network is quite fast here, its actually very impressive hardware for such a small shop. So I would be surprised if its network related. Thanks, Enrique
