how do i change a characters preview to something even simpler than a wireframe? hiding is not an option.

they all have the AO options set, beginning to suspect this somehow affects work even when in wireframe, is this possible?

i've 11 characters in a scene and haven't even started on the sprites..

Presuming you've already done "Page Down" to the limit...

 

in the PWS, in the Chor, to the right of "shortcut to..." are four icons. The second is "object Draw Mode"

 

It has three choices, Curved(spliniest but slowest), Vector (faster), Bound (fastest, a boundingbox).

 

"Bound" currently doesn't work, but Vector will get you some speed.

Alos note...

 

-Object Draw Mode choice is independent of "Object Render Mode" choice (the next icon)

 

-Object Render Mode is used only when you are in "default" display mode , selected with the 7 key. "default" permits object to be wireframe ro shaded all inteh same screen.

 

-Wireframe may no be the fastest display foryou depending on your graphics card. Shaded, no wire is slightly faster for me sometimes.

thanks!

i logged off since there didn't seem to be much traffic here, and just now discovered that it's called draw mode. i knew about bounding box, but searching that in techref doesn't help. the AO doesn't interfere then? i've the instructions for the folder system, selecting many things at once and 'saving' that selection, maybe that's something to apply here.

no, that's final render only

folder system?

folder system?

 

oh you know, it's your system, i just forgot the term, saving a group of objects (for instance) in a folder so you can re-select them all with one click. not important, new AO question in new post is.
