Hello all,
I'm working with Character-Studio in 3DS-Max9.
I'm working in the character animation phase of my new short film (http://contodovento.blogspot.com/) and I'm finding some performance difficulty when animating more then 2 characters at the same time in a given scene.
I mean, I'm still in the rigging process of the 10 characters, doing some motion tests and so, and I'm using a combination of "Physique", "Skin Wrap" and "Xform" modifiers in each one of them... and it all goes well (kind of) if I'm working in just 1 character at a time... but if I try to have 2 or more characters with all of those modifiers active, the performance goes down drastically!
I can't imagine what will not happen when the time comes to animate all the 10 characters.
I dont think the characters are too heavy, and I've tried to uncheck any "Meshsmooths" or "Turbosmooths" when doing these tests, but it doesnt seem to help.
Is there any tutorial on this?
Any kind of workflow?
Any advise? :)
Thanks a lot
