How to optimize manipulation viewport speed ?

Anim

I sometimes keep multiple clothings on a figure. The more of them the slower the figure posing becomes.

I think it is because Studio updates the clothing items (even those set to not seen) while the transform sliders or manipulation handles are operated.

Question:

Is there way to speed up the viewport responsivness in this case?

Actually I face seconds of viewport delay when e.g. rotating the hip.

What I did already:

Screen Optimization = Best

Subdevision updates = Continuous (Delayed made it worse)

Manipulation Binding = Optimized (but Full does not make a difference)

Hardware Antialiasing = On (off does not make a difference)

Texture Ressources: A low setting

[Edit]

Forgot to mention; eyes are not constrained to anything.

Try going to an article of clothing  // parameters and turn off SMOOTHING.

[usually the last one you added before this started]

There was always an outfit or article of clothing that caused the slow down

Pose your character(s), do what you gotta do and then turn it back on- right before rendering.

That used to work for me when I had this issue.

Make sure nothing in your scene has interactive update turned on for smoothing. Some clothing products have that enabled when they should not.

Thanks folks,

will check.

It's not just interactive update (at least it's not for me on either of my laptops), it's the smoothing and collision iterations. For me, once the sum of the two is greater than 7, things start to bog down, and the higher the sum (smoothing iterations have a greater impact: 7 smoothing iterations and 1 collision iterations runs a whole lot slower than 1 smoothing and 7 collision), the slower the viewport updates. Turning off Enable Smoothin until you're ready to render, as Griffin Avid suggests, disables interactive update as well.

You were right. I found a clothing that had interactive update enabled. Now viewport is responsive again. Luckily smoothing interations seem not to be a big issue on my system.

Besides some clothes being sold with interactive update incorrectly turned on, there is another culprit to be aware of. Man Friday's Render Queue turns interactive update on, before rendering each scene. I think that is his way of making sure that smoothing occurs before the render begins. If you continue to work on an open scene, or save that open scene, after using Render Queue to render the current scene, you need to go through everything and turn interactive update back off. If you just render a list of images and shut down your computer at the end, there is no problem, because the change to interactive update does not get saved.

I don't have Render Queue but good to know in case I get it in the future.
