Material Load into Flamingo Very slow

Rendering Flamingo
1

Hello,

I’ve been using flamingo for a number of years and have recently switched offices. With the switch, i’m trying to convince the new firm to buy rhino/flamingo and so i’m using a trial of both. I’m making a very simple kitchen rendering.

As i’m loading in new materials, i’m finding that it is taking 1-2 minutes to load in the standard flamingo materials from the library. I’m new to nxt 5, we had not upgraded yet. whats up?

separately, the thumbnail rendering within flamingo takes a surprisingly long time for simple materials (more than 10 seconds)

nxt 5 5.0.16179.14183
rhino 5.13.60523.20140

Sorry for the delay, I just saw this post. I’m not seeing this delay in loading materials or thumbnail previews here. At a guess, I wonder if it might be GPU related. Try the Quadro performance adjustments at the bottom of this page to check…
