axis4D Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi, Maybe there is work around for my suggestion.. I would like to suggest that there be an on/off toggle for point distributors. The issue I have with not having this option is that if I have in my scene 50 point distributors the scene becomes very heavy to work with while modifying mesh, leaves for example. It would be much easier to toggle off 49 distributors and work with 1 distributor for mesh modifications and then turn the 49 back on after modifications are complete. If there is work around for this I would very much appreciate the tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis4D Posted May 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 correction... I realise that instead of mentioning point nodes I wrote point distributors. I mean to say it would be nice to toggle on/off individual point nodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eduard Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Hi, Just create a new distributor, and add one distribution point. Then, turn on/off your distributors, ie turn on the distributor with 1 point, and turn off with 50 points. And vice versa. Nevertheless, we'll add this feature... Thanks!

Yes...this is actually an important part of an efficient work-flow. Always have a copy of the distributor that is able to be changed/manipulated very quickly so that you don't waste time waiting. This is also a useful technique for really high poly trees as well......just make a copy of the path that is slow to view to one that gives quick results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axis4D Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Thanks for the feedback guys... The "copied distributor" suggested by 3DMK is easier. Otherwise toggling multiple node layers on/off for fast previews would be faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peleus Posted June 15, 2013 Report Share Posted June 15, 2013 Nice to see this working for you axis. Once you have your model finished, it would be really nice if you can put it up at the gallery section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
