Solved: Quixel Suite is SO SLOW

kesey

I mean, STUPID SLOW. I've spent literally 3 or more hours trying to texture a small hut, with around 70k polys, and have had quixel crash my computer 4 times since using it due to how laggy it gets. No other software even has a hangup, just quixel. I am seriously NOT happy about this and am on the verge of getting a refund and purchasing Substance Painter. 

I don't have a super computer, but it should be more than enough for some simple texturing. 
16GB DDR3
250SSD
R9 280x
AMD FX8350

What the hell is the problem??? why is this SO SLOW! I literally cant even edit values of a smart texture once I put one on my model without the program completely freezing.

The same goes for me using my laptop, core I7, geforce 840m, 8GB RAM .. and its seriously annoying

Sorry about the trouble, guys! I'll be in the Quixel Hangout all day today, so feel free to join and share your screen with us: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/event/QuixelSuite2

I'll see what I can do to assist.

Make sure that you're forcing 3DO2.exe to use your video card instead of integrated graphics - you can configure this through your Nvidia control panel.

This issue was cross-posted to Facebook - the problem is that 23 mesh groups were created, each having four 2k textures, for a total of 92 loaded 2k textures in Photoshop simultaneously. 16 GB isn't enough to run this, so the solution is to minimize mesh groups - four or fewer in this case.
