Severe framedrop and screentearing when orbiting in a camera

Anonymous — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 02:09:44 GMT

Max2017 latest up to date, I have a very powerful computer. In a brand new scene with only teapots, I can use the Walk Through camera mode to look around and orbit the props smoothly. If I create a camera, Free, Targeted, or Physical, inhabit it as my own camera, then use the same Walk Through look around, I suffer severe framedrop, screen tearing, the FPS is pitiful.

I would just use my own perspective camera but I am doing some viewport work like using look-at constraints at the camera to billboard flat planes to them, which I cant do to the perspective camera. If there's a way to do that, It would be better, but right now im trying to fix and solve this camera lag.

Any thoughts?

I cant figure out how to edit my post but here's a video of first the severe tearing and lag when looking around with a camera, and then the butter smoothness of looking around with just the viewport.

Honestly a better sollution for me would be to learn how to make a look at constraint to the viewport camera, or how to attach an object just behind the viewport camera that I can do a look at constraint to.
