Motion Trails - 2011

#1

No idea why, but I’ve been having this problem for quite a while now that the Maya Motion Trail is suuuuuuuper slow once I apply it to an object… or the rig I’m working with.

Regardless of 2010 or 11 it’s so slow it’s faster to track with a pen. Once i start moving curves while having the motion trail activated it just takes forever to calculate the change i’ve done.

Any idea how to avoid this or what might be the reason for it?

Thanks a lot

The higher the End Time frame value, the more slowdown it will have. I have an idea on how to speed this up that I am hoping to add to my Manager:
