Ullis Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I have been working on a model, no hairs but just ordinary patches, and I have now 3034 patches including about 70 5pointers. When is it reasonalbe to encounter problems with the computer, at what amount of patches? I have some modelling to go and I have all sorts of delays and even a black screen from time to time, just in the modelling window. No problems with the rigging or animating in chor. What is your opinon? - is my graphic card too old, a Radeon X1650? - too little RAM, 2 GB - all too weak? Or too many patches? Grateful for some advice here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakerupert Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 I tend to run into slowdownproblmes at about 15.000 patches, so I guess you should be o.k. Have you tried to change from open GL to direct X or vice versa? Sometimes that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted September 18, 2009 Hash Fellow Share Posted September 18, 2009 3000 patches shouldn't be too many, but you could work on a part of the model in another model window and paste it into the whole when you are done.

HomeSlice Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It doesn't seem like your patch count is the problem. You have more than enough ram for what you are doing. Your graphic card seems fine, but you can get MUCH better graphics for about $150.00 (USD) now days. I am guessing some process running in the background on your computer is hogging your CPU. Perhaps you can try turning off the Windows Indexing service ... sometimes that helps. When was the last time you ran a virus scan and a spyware scan?
