3ds Max :: Curve Editor Slows Playback
Sep 15, 2011
If I have Curve Editor open and I playback my animation (fairly complex character) by clicking "Play Animation" button, animation won't run smoothly.
Curve Editor Open (minimized and or maximized) = 6 fps
Curve Editor Open while dragging time slider manually = 15 fps
Curve Editor Closed = 28 fps
Also if I have "Statistics" info shown (shortcut 7) to see fps, it will slow playback about 40% more.
Would be nice to have some sort of fix on these As an animator having to close Curve Editor all the time is annoying.
3ds max 2012 was great leap towards better and faster experience, but there are still tons of old bugs and "still not working very well", like random numbers in reaction manager, or having different keyboard shortcuts for Edit Poly modifier or Editable Poly mesh (please combine). Graphite Modeling Tools was good addition, but would be nice to have it integrated completely with tools found in Edit Poly modifier and Editable Poly. Chamfer also needs upgrading, it still doesn't work very well with more complex places.

AutoCAD will be running fine but if i use the Block editior everything suddenly slows down.
It doesn't matter what block I edit or if I even edit a block but if I open and then close the Block editor it slows considerably.
I have treid Regen, Purge, Audit, Turning off snap's, Polar Tracking etc but nothing seems to work with the exception of closing and resetting AutoCAD

Im having trouble with my viewport once my material editor is open. If I try to play my animation once my material editor is up it plays very very choppy. It didn't before I open the material editor. Its happening with all my scenes and I don't have any animated maps or very high res maps in the scene. Most of my scenes are very simple and still getting choppy viewport playback. If I close down the Material editor I still get the same performance when I play my animation. The only thing that I have be able to do to fix this is restarting max. Once I restart max it will work fine as longs as i don't open the material editor up. I have a top of the line machine from HP so i don't know what is going on.

My Curve Editor has gone virtually blank except World shows up. Nothing else. No curves, no keys, no scene objects. NOTHING! I'm experienced with it but alas, I am stumped. I've tried every combination of Curve Editor settings. I've also erased the 3dsmax.ini file. Older files exhibit the same absence of data. Used to work!

So i've rigged some characters for a school project. Now when I start animating it's fine, but when I've animated a bit (3-4 key poses) and I want to adjust things in the curve editor, the curve editor is really slow. Can take up to 3 min to adjust a block of keys.
Now the scene it self is running ok, and I'm using proxy meshes to get more speed, so I guess the problem is in the rig. Is there any way to trouble-shoot my rig, and optimize it to gain more speed?

To make it possible for every parameter i could put the key like as in Xsi...You can make keys as in Cinema 4d - the first press m-mode modeling, the second key - e - extrude.
when i press Alt+Q, I want to see the object and his material in the material editor, I do not want to find material..i want mirror X and Y option in curve Editor like Cinema 4d - easy make reverse animations
Tools for animation as the camera when shooting handheld and most importantly to usability..I have a lot of ideas how to improve 3DS max. I have experience with almost all these programs for 16 years. Contact me on Skype, telling what you can do better - for a long time. Final3d1

Is there a way to "filter" all the junk I don't need from the curve editor? I need to select all the "z-axes" of 2000+ objects and randomize their keys. But ONLY their Z-Ax keys

I am attempting to use 3ds Max 2013 at my job, and I have run into a rather painful bug/problem. Every time I open the curve editor, my cursor starts flickering between normal pointer image and hourglass, the buttons in the top of the editor flicker randomly, and I cannot select and type anything in the input boxes in top or bottom. All this flickering lasts for about 10-20 seconds, which is not a long time if it just happened once, but I have noticed that it happens after every time I move a key. What 3ds Max goofed up to cause this problem?

I have a long animation. I want to use populate at frame 12000. But populate frames won't let me go over 10000 frames. How can I get my people to animate after frame 10000 as you cant adjust the start point in the curve editor.

well I was working on my animation, but the toolbars in the curve editor are gone since yesterday. First I tried the "Load Layout" and "Show Toolbars" function. Then I deleted the 3dsmax.ini and Trackview.ini without result. In the end I reinstalled 3ds Max2012 but nothing changed.

My Animation Graph Editor is only showing one animation curve (for one attribute) at a time after I have set multiple keyframes for the character set and various attributes. I select multiple attributes, and hit View-Frame All, and it only shows the top attribute of the selected attributes as one curve.

correct process for animating a Material color change using AutoKey and the Curve Editor.
Right now, I am only able to crudely manipulate the color change by setting the material color change while the AutoKey is active.
The problem is that I am unable to control the speed/time at which the color change actually transpires in the scene.
So far, the only solution I have found, is to set the color change hundreds of frames after the point at which I want the color change to actually occur.
Normally, I would go into the curve editor and and manipulate the keys for the color change to slow or speed up the transition, and to control the exact timing.
However, even though I am able to locate the color change key(s) in the Curve Editor, I either do not know how to properly manipulate them, or I don't know what keys I actually want to manipulate.
I am accustomed to sliding keys left and right and using null keys to hold a key frame (in the this case the color prior to change, which is grey, and then the color after the change, which is fuchsia. however sliding keys around in the curve editor, when I have the "fuschia" key(s) selected (I misspelled the name, so in the file it is "fuschia" not "fuchsia"), does not seem to affect the actually timing of the color change.
FYI, the material that I am attempting to animate is the "fuschia" material in the Compact Material Editor.

I want to create a Curve table for an alignment.
You are able you get range of properties, i.e length, chord length, start/end chainages, mid-ordinate.
I've notice lets for arguement sake 'chord length' text component editor is: <[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]> but is it possible to modify the code so i can insert half a chord length.
Ive tried
<[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>/2Â Â Â Â Â Â Â ---- doesn't work
<[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]/2>Â Â Â Â Â ---- doesn't work
<[Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)/2]>Â Â Â Â Â ---- doesn't work
<[1/2*Chord Length(Um|P3|RN|AP|GC|UN|Sn|OF)]>Â Â Â Â ---- doesn't work

when ever I bring a clip into the timeline and play it as a "Clip" the sound is fine. When I play it as a "project" the video plays normal but the sound is slowed way down out of sync. This problem carries over to the burned DVD also.

I have a scene (original Sketchup > 3ds > max) with 100's of thousands of objects. About 60 odd materials. Due to mapping being specific I'm manually converting the standard materials to VRay Materials (latest vray 2.3) - Yes I'm NOT using the VRayScene Converter in this case. Even with ALL OBJECTS HIDDEN, after I get to like the 10th or 11th subobject material, max just suddenly slows down to a crawl. Just to change a colour swatch (not even a bitmap) takes sometimes like 2 minutes or longer for max to respond. I thought maybe it's an UNDO issue so I set UNDO levels to just 1. This didn't work. With Nitrous, I have viewport progressive refinement switched OFF. I tried switching to OpenGL and the viewports are actually MUCH more responsive in wireframe. In OpenGL it seems to last longer before the slowdowns start again. I'm not even at the render stage yet.
I'm on Win7 64bit with 16GB Ram. i7 2600k and 2 X SSD in raid 0. I have an ATI 6990 4GB with the lastest drivers (Catalyst 12.6). Max has the latest update3 installed.

When we work with Artistic text, corel X6 gets slow. This is on all computers with Corel X6. If we use Corel X3 it is ok. Any reason?
When using Artistic text there is also always automatic inserted several empty lines in bottom.

When Saving an animated GIF in Photoshop CS3 the animated frames slow when viewed after the save. Therefore any gradient fades etc seem to stutter, about 25% slower than the frame rate set initially.
When the animation is played in photoshop it plays at the right speed, only slows when viewing the file after saving...

I am having a problem with Autocad 2012 LT. It typically runs fine, but after using it for an extended period of time with multiple projects open, it becomes painfully slow to perform basic tasks like copying objects, opening projects, and saving projects. Restarting AutoCAD does not fix the problem, however, restarting my computer does fix the problem. I just don't want to be continually restarting my computer as on average I need to do this 3-4 times per day at work.

I use a simple opacity mask on some equally simple (but large) artwork. It slows down the screen rendering so much as to make the file almost unworkable with the preview turned on.

I'll start off will some system specs:
Â
i5 m450 @ 2.40ghz
win7
4gb memory
approx 200 gb of free hd space
Â
running pse8 with approx 39,000 images, very small amount of video clips.
Â
people recognition and auto analyze are turned off.
Â
The issue is that when adding tags and captioning to multiple files the application slows down and sometimes freezes for short amount of time.
Â
Would installing additional ram totaling 8gb useful or does ram play any role in the performance of the application?

Lightroom 4.3 runs smoothly if I work on unmodified images.
Â
However, if I apply modifications on an image, retouching it afterwards becomes much slower, even if I render a preview AFTER I made modifications on the image.
Â
I tell you an example: I import a raw file to the program and I render it`s preview. Then I retouch the image - it works very fast, no waiting time, no Loading overlay.Where the problem starts: I import a raw file, I apply some modifications on it (for example a preset), then I render it`s preview - then I want to do more modifications on the image, which becomes very slow.
Â
I was monitoring the cpu usage of the computer. In the first case, the cpu usage during modifying the image is normal.In the second case, it goes up to 100%. It seems that applying modifications on an image makes working on it slow, no matter if you have the most up-to-date preview or not.

I have ran an analysis and SSA gave me Error 607  on the report. It says "Inlet A9 gutter capture curve is not a valid curve."
A couple things I did different from the video lectures...
IÂ selected user define for the Tc to figure out Q. i computed those manually.
For the Inlets I have selected Maximum Capture Cutoff.
There are some inlets in this model I created that do not capture 100% of the flow so i created conveyance links to account for the bypass flow.Not sure why is not recognizing the Curve?
