Is it just me? Or is Sir Nigel just so old that he slows the system down?

Or is there something about Sir Nigel?

 

When I add Sir Nigel to a chor, the entire system slows, and I'm staying in wireframe.

 

Perhaps its just me?

Have you turned off hair? (Shift-8)

Of course not! I'm a newbie.

 

I'll try that! Thanks!

Does the model have to have hair before you see a time benefit from turning hair off? (Apologies if that looks like "Dumb question of the day".)

If your model has no hair and no particle effects, then disabling hair/particles (they are one and the same) has no effect.

Well, I had no idea that Nigel was so hirsute! (hairy).

 

That "fixed" it, since nothing was really broken, just some fault between the chair and the keyboard.

 

Thanks again.

I haven't played with Sir Nigel lately, but I suspect the slowdown is because his hair is quite dense. If for whatever reason you still want to see (or modify) his hair, try turning hair/particles back on and reducing the hair's Realtime Density / Subdivisions, which are properties of the hair material.

When I get to the hair chapter, I'll play with that. As it is, I'm still working with my poor flower. But its good to know that I can now use Sir Nigel again, and its not his age that made him so slow. As it was, I was figuring that I was going to have to model a walker for him.
