See what is cooking.

[hopbin9]

Hi,

I have a scene that has some frames taking a long time to cook, then I think it should. Not very long, but a few seconds and I want to fix what is causing the lag.

When I hit that frame, I can see at the bottom a long list of nodes that are cooking, but the list is cropped off on the right side so I can't see all of the nodes.

Is there a way to open a log window or something that will list everything that Houdini is doing?

Thanks,

oh, never mind. I found the "Performance Monitor" window.

AWESOME!!!!!!

check out the performance monitor, You can find it under Windows>Performance Monitor or Alt+y

a less accurate way is to enable Highlight Cooking Node in preferences

Thanks,

That is an awesome tool!

It turned out that my custom component that added bevel edges to objects was causing all the delay. I modified to just output the non-beveled version during displays, and it's all running smoothly now without any lag.

I can animate in real-time again!
