Technique on how to pause real time viewport rendering for substance painter while texturing

e_manual

Sometimes while textuing in substance painter in a heavy scene with alot of layers at high res, response time becomes very slow, ideally I would like to see a feature to partially pause realtime viewport rendering, so I can make a bunch of changes to settings and tweak values without having to wait for the viewport to update per action.

Does anyone have any techniques to replicate this type of behaviour in painter or just make painter run smoother in general for high res heavy scenes?

Best option I know is to work in lower resolution (as low as possible) and then just up it for exporting

you can also turn off all the other layers or move the layer to be painted on up top. that eases the calculations needed to paint.

but yeah i would also like to have a mask painting mode that is always realtime and only updates when i tell it to. but thats contrary to the idea behind substance painter, so i guess this will not happen

Thanks for the tips @Neox and @rollin

that mask painting mode with paused rendering / update would be awesome, alas I think your right about it not happening, I suppose we can only dream
