ptex paint patches update problem

[Anonymous]

Hello,

if I´m using ptex and whant to polypaint my model I get sometimes the problem that the ptex patches doesn´t get updateted, they load to a certain stage but than they stop in this colored patches like in the picture below. That mostly happens if I go into the mouth details of my character, so it seems to be a problem that it doesn´t like to load both symmetry sides of the model at the same time for ptex painting it! If I´m working on the outside of my model just looking on one side the patches get regular updated, not always that even I would like, but they do after some movement of the preview and time.

Any idea to solve it, some performance settings?

Best Regards,

Josef

Well, like so often, I think I got the solution right now after posting this question. If I get the updating problem it seems that I look partly trough the model with the camera, so the updating of the patches stops because ptex isn´t really synchronised with the view of the camera but with the camera position. So if I still can look through the model but the camera is already behind a layer of the model, petx stops loading because it estimates it as not important.

Best thanks anyway!
