Reactor slow

[LaBelette]

Hello,

 

I have prepared a test model with a box that fractured in 200 pieces in max (with the help of fracture voronoi) as a small scale test before to make a bigger scene but it was almost impossible to compute so slow it became after adding a Rigid Body to the 200 pieces.

 

It was weird because when I checked the memory, max was not using much of my RAM or processor, RAM was at 40% and processor at 15% (I have a new PC).

 

I will try to use now Rayfire but I am quite disappointed by Reactor, I hear many good things about it, that it was even better than MassFX but it looks I can use it only for mini scenes with it.

 

Could anybody render interesting stuff with Reactor?

does reactor even exist anymore?........what version of max are you on?

as far as a i know it was single threaded.

 

rayfire is definately worth trying out. reactor was useless

it has been replaced, by MassFx I think, not sure..

I also dont think u can do good looking animations with Reactor, it becomes quick overwhelmed and dont use

the memory of the pc rightly
