Hi,

I've got this problem with the speed of my machine while working with Sub-D's. Trying to setup a head for animation, but when I alter the object it takes forever to update. Is the problem al lack of memory, or is it the graphicscard that shout need more speed?

I use a 1,2Ghz CPU, 512Mb RAM, 32Mb graphicscard

Well, ok, maybe a bit harsh user added image

I've got 2.4Ghz, 512Mb, 64Mb video. It's only 3 months old. I think I'll be getting another stick of 512 and when the video card dies, I'll probably go for 128Mb.

That's the main reason I don't mess with SubDs. Far too slow to use on my comp.

The reason I started to use Sub-D's for a change, was That I 'm following the book of 'Maya Character Animation' by Jea-jin Choi, and he is using a Sub-D character for an example of facial setup, and it appeared to me...., bad idea. So afther 23 crashes I had to ask.

Stickin' to poly's, it's beter for my health!
