Not sure what the hell's happened but now when I open the slate material editor, the file just stops working. There's also virtually no CPU usage - but takes 10 minutes to open, and any click is minutes to do anything. I've turned off rendering, I've turned down the size of the texture rendering in 3ds max. It's just stopped working in my file and I have no idea what's caused the colossal slow down with it's functionality.
Any tips to using this **** thing? I love the node editing, but it's tanked my file completely now.
