I started a thread here: http://www.hash.com/forums/index.php?showt...mp;#entry186812

Should have been here, but it anyway....I was wondering if anyone else has pointers on speeding up refresh rates while using hair?

I turn it off when I don't need it, and reduce the density dramatically for any hairy objects that I'm not actually working on at that moment.

It might be worth making a feature request for an option for the chor to only show hair/particles for the currently selected object.

Good idea. Anything to speed up refresh times. Makes it a pain trying to edit a 1 second piece when you have to wait 3 minutes for the little blue bar to hit 100%

I recommended F8 as a way to turn hair on and off interactively in the interface...well, it looks like that is not working in V13C...anyone else getting this?

I'm gonna update to v13c tonight and I'll post my results tomorrow.

CORRECTION: It is 'SHIFT 8' that will toggle your hair...not F8! My goof!

so "SHIFT 8" will toggle hair on and off?

Yes...
But I prefer to set the realtime-density to 1%-10% or so... that helps you to work with hair a lot...
*Fuchur*

Cool, thanks, that will probably help when I get A:M!

also make shure you set it to wire framewhile your editing, sadly i didn't learn this until i actualy got a fast computer.
