so i started that tutorial
http://www.sidefx.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1423&Itemid=132 [sidefx.com]
i just added the picture and when i hit play, the particles appear extremely slowly , it takes ages to cook one frame, i didn't change any parameters
my PC has 2 xeon 3.06 6 cores cpu
gtx580 3gb
so i doubt my computer is at fault, especially that in the tutorial it goes pretty fast for the first frames he simulate
if anyone has an idea why this is happening plz answer
thank you
Sam

Hi,
I haven't seen the tutorial, but your point SOP, where it is, is causing to be evaluated every frame and since your image is static you don't really need that to happen.
Move to point SOP in between the object merge and the popnet, add a scatter SOP between the object merge and the point SOP, and inside the popnet you can change the source method from “surface” to “points random”.
This should help ya

thank you for taking the time unfortunately it isn't what i am looking for.
also i found out was is wrong
if i import an image and use the pic() function, it takes ages to cook
but if i use the tex() function and take a file from the hard disk, it goes extremely fast
probably a bug or something
thank you anyway
