Delay in recalling Material Editor!



There is delay of about 10 seconds or more whenever I call the material editor.... I used a P4 with an nVidia Geforce4 ti4600.

I know this does not happen with my other PIII based machine...

How can i solve this?
please help

well are you using some very complex material trees. i get a lot of slowdown when i have a whole bunch of slots filled with complex material trees. i mean this is probably some sort of setting/hardware problem but i thought i'd mention that heavy material trees will lead to a natural slowdown.

It was definitely the nview drivers... I updated my drivers and it seems to have fixed my problem... or the delay is not noticeable.

Thanks...

& Kuman... I had an unrelated question...

could you please tell me why I can't dock any new toolbar to the tab Panel in Max5 like I could in an earlier version... it's annoying....

i don't know ghori
sorry i can't help you with that one really
i don't use the toolbar at all (i'm too old school man)

instead what i do is stick tools that i use a lot into my quads and i use custom quads

perhaps someone else will post with a suitable answer...

good luck man
