Member locvio Posted October 14, 2017 Member Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 Getting laggy performance, even with basic brush. What are common performance tweaks? 1) Can I change where 3d coat is caching? Can hear it writing to HDD with every stroke.. would like to switch that to my SSD.. 2) Included specs below. .32GB RAM, Quadro k4000, I7 6core. these should be ok, it seems. Am considering upgrading to 1080ti though. Could that help? thanks! Alex 3dCoat in OGL mode. OS: Windows 10.

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted October 14, 2017 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted October 14, 2017 It doesn't do that on my end, so it sounds like there may be something going on with your "Documents/3D Coat 4.8" directory.

Solution Andrew Shpagin Posted October 15, 2017 Solution Report Share Posted October 15, 2017 After each stroke Coat writes Undo to disk. But usually you will never feel it. You may change path used for all files that are created dynamically (settings, new items, materials etc). It may take 500MB - 2 GB in general. Create file coat_data_path.txt in installation folder and put path to new placement of data, like c:\3D-CoatDataFiles\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member locvio Posted October 18, 2017 Author Member Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 After some feedback from Andrew, found that For me turning OFF Geometry-> Use CUDA checkbox made things much faster. Not sure why that would be with NVIDIA K4000, might ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted October 18, 2017 Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 Have you tried using GL version ? It could improve your performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member locvio Posted October 18, 2017 Author Member Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 thanks, I am on GL64.. again without CUDA performance seems much better. did send question about it to Nvidia.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
