Scatter Slowing - Not Bug?

Post by Blue »

I was using the Scatter Brush with a custom shape from the clip board. You can see a larger view of the shape in one of the images below, the "J" shape.

As I was using this brush the program would seem to freeze after a mouse up. Apparently there is some redrawing or re-calculation after a mouse up.

Zooming causes the same problem.

I noticed the above slowness with even a third of the number of J's in the scene.

I'm concerned because this doesn't look like a complex scene (to me at least). Here is the file:

No, it's not complex, but look at the number of points in the 'J'!! Edit this so that there are a LOT fewer nodes, and you should be good to go...
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
