carbon scatter becomes prettymuch unusable

[Wouter Schreuders]

Hey there

So I've set up a pretty basic scene which I wanna populate with trees. The trees I'm using are iCube trees which I've turned into vray proxies.

I set then up in carbonscatter and try to paint but the program basically just completely grinds to a halt, I'll depress the mouse to paint and basically just sit there and wait for it to paint something, after a couple of minutes I may have some proxied objects which have been painted somewhere on the scene or I may have nothing. Is it because I'm using too complex vrayproxied objects?

Thanks

Hi,

the speed of painting is affected only by the complexity of the geometries present in the scene, not by the complexity of proxies.

I suppose the slowness happens when you paint with the brush on heavy objects. If it's the case, you should use the command "edit material" on them before painting, which will increase the speed (before a better fix is found!).

well that's the thing, I'm painting on a flat surface. Just a normal rectangle

[Nicolas Sourd]

if it's a simple flat surface, then it should be fast. Are you sure there is not an heavy object near the area on which you are painting ? In certain cases, the tests of intersection can be very slow.

I'll have a look at teh scene to see if there is somehting weird going on but I don't think that's the case.
