I'm using paint effects to draw guides for hair. It's not creating any geometry, I just plan to convert the strokes to curves and use them as guides in xgen. This is the way I normally do it because it used to be really fast. But since updating to 2024 it has become unusably laggy. I've attached a video so you can see what I mean.

 

A lot of things in 2024 seem very laggy as well, such as CLOSING the hypershade, which seems counter intuitive.

 

Has anyone encountered this and been able to fix it?

PaintFX conversion to polygons crashes Maya. I'd upload a file but an empty file will instantly blow up upon the conversion. Pretty easy to test. BTW when is paint FX being updated...... Its been 15 years?
