Sliders Not Working

I know there are older posts where people have experienced a situation where Morph Sliders stop working or suddenly become incredibly slow. I found those posts because I had (have) the same problem - and have traced it down a bit.

For me the situation to create the symptoms is very simple. I have DS 4.5.1.56 running on Windows XP SP3 32 bit (probably not relevant). I load up the basic Genesis figure and then add the" Latex Hero" Costume (newly purchased) - and then the basic Genesis morph sliiders either do not work or are incredibly slow (it is the sliders that stop working - typing in morph values works but slowly). I remove the Latex Hero costume from the scene - and the sliders burst into life and the Morph sliders are fine.

It is not a major problem for me, so I not put in a ticket - but I post this here for others to find and to help the developers. There might be other purchaseable items that cause the same symptoms ...

Or it could be a problem with Morphs. With the costume on - all Morph slider presets that I created still work perfectly.

If you have purchased the Latex Hero - have fun :)

and if you cannot reproduce it - then I have other problem. Any resposnses will help me troubleshoot it.

    Does Latex hero have smoothing on in the clothing? I suspect it does and you are seeing extreme lag as the smoothing calculates (and if you use a morph for the first time you will also see lag as the auto-morph is generated). Given that you system is probably a little slow anyway, that may well amount to making the morphs unusable. If that is the case turning off the mesh smoothing option while posing and reactivating it only near the end (final tweaks before rendering) should help.

    AFAIK Latex Hero is one of the items with interactive smoothing turned on by default, switch that of for the item.

    Thanks guys - that was my problem

    I did not think of smoothing because have satisfactorily used other clothing where smoothing was on by default.

    But we are all fixed now - thanks again.
