How to disable translations and rotations of a hidden mesh?

[Anonymous]

I have a rig which is playing animations very slowly in the viewport, I found out the reason for this is that the hair mesh is too dense and if were to delete the hair mesh, the rig would playback at regular/good speeds, but if I hid the hair mesh, it's still being calculated in the background,

Is there a way to disable translations and rotations of a  hidden mesh?

Keep in mind the hair is connected to the mesh so freezing the mesh's transforms won't work because it's being influenced by the Nurbs curves

Hi!

Try Modify -> Evaluate Nodes -> ...

Thanks for the reply, Although that didn't work for me, I found a solution,

I created an assembly definition of the hair, So When I'm animating or viewing the animation I use the cached assembly reference of the hair and whenever I want to render, I use the scene representation mesh. Works great, very responsive.
