Slow wind animation preview.

[Matt]

Hi there,

I´m working on my first wind animation, following the official tutorial. I´m using the simple tree from the tutorial.
But the performance is far from real time as shown in the video.
In the tutorial scrubbing the timeline and playback seem to pretty much real time, so I´m wondering where I am going wrong?

I´ve also set it to display lines, but thats also not much faster.
I´ve also tried hiding everything but the main trunk but thats still very slow. 

Can you point me in the right direction?

much appreciated.

Hi Samuel,

 

I advise everyone to apply the Wind modifiers into After Mesh Modifiers!
I moved all your Wind modifiers and you can take a look: Treeanim_002.max

 

Thanks!

 

[Matt]

Would you be able to share the max file so that I can take a look at the set up?

[Eduard]

Hi Matt,

 

Can't download this file?  Treeanim_002.max

 

Thanks!

[Matt]

Hi Eduard, that file was not from my post. I am just trying the simple tree animation for wind in your tutorials.

Hi Matt,

 

Our tutorials are probably out of date, they were created when AfterMeshModifiers didn't exist yet.
We'll create new ones, but only for version 2.0.

So, here's a simple rule, create Wind modifiers only in AfterMeshModifiers.

Thanks!

Ok, I will give it a go. Thank you.

Hi Eduard, same problem here, I just bought GrowFX for "wind animation" but with version 2.0 I can't match the tutorial online. A new one it would be very appreciate! Thx!
