Loads while painting

[iBot]

Hello Guys,

I've been running into a problem while painting because when I click and move the brush the Painter stops and the loading bar starts to move and the whole applications get stuck until it finishes, this make hard to make straight lines as mouse suddenly jump from old position to new one when it stop loading so what happen in the middle of process isn't visible, it's also very slow in some occasions to paint on the objects.

Any tips?

What resolution are you painting in and what are your computer specs?

Hello Jerc,

Painting to 2048x2048,

my specs are:

Intel i7 2600k @ 3,4ghz
16gb of ram
GTX 770 2gb
SSD of 64gb just for windows and Painter files (moved to see if could help but didn't)

You shouldn't have any perf issue with those. We are working on a bug where some meshes decrease performance very heavily for no reason, this may be it.

Thanks Jerc,

Yeah it also seems to be related to some areas and viewpoint because sometimes it just flow perfect, while in others it can take few seconds to paint a bit and then it start to load again so I have to paint, wait, paint, wait, this make very hard to do painting with precision and is very annoying.

Any idea when this bug fix will be released?

Did you layout your UVs automatically? Several overlapping UV chuncks can cause performance issues.

Nope, I do them manually and I avoid overlapping because of ambient occlusion baking.

Hello Jerc,


I found something that might be interesting, layers that are at bottom take more time to be painted than layers at top, so for example I want to paint a layer and its a base below other layers, it might start to load, but if I move it to top of list then it goes faster.
