hair slowing down system

[Michael Goldberg]

Well, I think I know what it is. We are connected to a SAN, and the SAN has some type of read permissions which bog down both C4D, and AE at various times. We’ve let it go because it’s not tremendous. It seems with the hair material, it must somehow be looking in the texture paths for something, and that’s causing the lag. I can’t explain it yet, because I have no other materials in the scene. Only the hair material. When I delete the texture search paths in my preferences, the lag goes away. Strange.
