Hello; I've been working on a scene (showing two messages below this one) with 3 poser figures in it. As I worked on the scene I noticed Carrara had extremely dramatic slowdowns when I brought in the Poser figures. Things like clicking on the color box in the color setting of the shader for their skin and having to wait 3-5 minutes for a response... Or having to click and hold for over 30 seconds before it would select a figure and be able to drag it to a new location. Or when entering in positions numerically having to wait a minute or more to be able to type in a number, then a another few minutes for it to apply the changes. And of course... using the mini-render camera to preview if I'd gotten the settings I wanted right. I had to do this hundreds of times on the girl's foot. All told I spent five hours yesterday tweaking her foot. Not because I was being picky, but because it took so long to do... I shut off every other item on my PC. Including things like my virus scanner, my net connection, system monitor, and so on. I've even tried unloading the background pic in windows... My system: 500Mhz k7 athlon with 256 Mhz PC133 Ram and a Geforce DDR board. I've got 5gb of unused space on the drive I run Carrara on (D drive) and 7gb free on my C drive... Anyone else notice issues like this? Anyone find solutions? I'm running with the patch installed.
Truth has no value without backing by unfounded belief.
