CGTalk - mayas subdivisions

am I the only one or is it nearly impossible to work with mayas subidvs?!? I allready deleted the blind data node (because somebody suggested this to speed up subdiv) but it's sooo slow

my mesh isn't really complicated.....only a few extrutions...and if I want to extrue the faces which you can see in the picture it takes me 5 seconds until my cursor moves....really impossible to work if you always have to wait 5 seconds until you get your next image.....

maybe I make something wrong? :shrug:

however there is no attach button image

another subdiv question, is it possible to convert the poly cage from a subdiv into a poly model?

i had some problems with speed with subds too, i think there is a way for not slow it too much, some modeling rules or something.

to convert the subd cage to polys modify> convert > subdiv to polygons. and put it in vertices, level 0. this worked for me

The slowing down it's mostly a hardware+maya problem, I found a workaround for this by working with all the panels in view (all 4 not 1 full screen), and a stranger one, if you switch to top and make that persp it seems to work ... :hmm:

WOAH!! Thanks!! The Up>>Pers view tip works!!! Amazing!
You have saved my computer (I was about to throw it by the window. And I'm on the 3rd floor.)
Hope all this mess will be patched in 4.5 ;):thumbsup:
