How to freeze Xgen (freeze attribute does nothing).

[johnkeates2865]

Xgen hair makes my model very slow to move so I would like to fix this before rigging. I tried the 'Frozen' attribute but that does nothing. Hiding seems to speed things up until I press play, when xgen continues to evaluate.

How to fix this (short of having a render mesh that gets swapped in after animation)?

OK, I accepted the solution, but as mentioned (by the poster himself), it isn't quite ideal. Some way of disabling xGen evaluation would be better.

Thanks for the help,

John
