Army maker takes a long time to refresh the scene

Article needs peer review

Symptom

Army maker creates instances of the original model, therefore there are a lot of relations in scale rotations and translations to all the elements in a skeleton hierarchy.



Solution

  • Bounding box display may help when manipulating.
  • Use only very simple skeleton hierarchies and characters.
  • Make sure all visual cues are off, especially weight points for all views.
  • When weight painting, freeze the weight so that there are no additional calculations.
  • You can also remove the army maker, animate the character and use army maker only when you're ready to render.



Applies To: XSI 3.0 on NT,Win2K,Irix,Linux
