Maya lag

coolgaspumper

Hey so I'm modelling in maya and when i move a larger object around it lags. I can move the camera around the scene fine but when moving its slow. I have a r9 290 and 16 gigs of ram so i'm not sure why its lagging. I'm only using 30 percent of my memory and 8% of my CPU so I'm not sure whats up. Any ideas?

Have you deleted history on that object? How many polygons are in your scene?

Ya deleted history and there's 29,400 tris

Are you working in a scene with complex shaders and are you using default viewport or HQ or 2.0?

You can try exporting that model into a fresh scene and see if its still laggy. Try FBX or OBJ export.

ya i was using default everything with normal material. Lost the file though due to some accidental button pushing and complete wtf on the program.
