Maya - Rotating Controls is SLOW

erebel55 · Sep 2015

I have tested this rig on multiple computers. The computer that it is running on for the video has 16 GB ram and a i7 3.4 GHz.

Whenever I try and rotate any of my controls it is VERY laggy. A timeglass icon appears and my CPU load increases to about 25% total. Ram stays stead and hard drive as well.

Here is the video of what is happening.

I am currently using Maya 2016.

Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Edit:
After more testing I see that the feet and head controls are fast. But the spine control I show in the video is control a large amount of bones and is very slow.

Thank you

You can try going to Modify > Evaluate Nodes > Ignore All but I'm not sure if that will affect how your rig moves when you adjust the controllers. Worth a look anyhow.

Yeah that made it really fast, but now nothing moves

Okay, I turned each one of the options under that menu back on, one at a time and found the culprit.

It was "Snapshots"

Yay, thank you so much Bartalon, you are boss

What does Snapshot do by the way?

Never used them before, but here's what Autodesk has to say about them:
