Thanks for all the suggestions. I will try the delta operation Mario suggested and currently I am testing if the Arnold Standin property has any influence on it. The scene is pretty simple, few overrides and nothing fancy going on. The order of switching or direction, ie. 1-2 or 2-1 makes no difference. I am actually leaning to thinking I have a semi corrupt scene, as Softimage crashes when I close the scene (Ctrl+N) and there is a group I can't inspect without Softimage crashing, so I am thinking major clean-up or rebuild anyway.
This is rare for me - long time since I last had a really corrupt scene :/ MB Den 26. august 2015 kl. 10:20 skrev [email protected]: > does it happen in one particular direction only - ex. res1 to res2 works > fine but not the other way around? > can you change the resolution back and forth ten times in a row on the same > model without any issues? > > what if you change resolution on four of them, save scene, restart xsi, > open scene and change the res on the 5th one? > If it crashes I’d say something is wrong in the setup - but as you say, > they work fine separately, so that’s hard to pin down. > But if it works fine, IMO it points to a performance problem.
