 Softimage 3D for IRIX, version 3.7 == Softimage 3D for Windows NT, version 3.7 == 

= SYMPTOMS =

Opening the Paint tool takes a long time.

= CAUSE =

When you first open the Paint tool, the default view is texture mode. This may result in a slower workflow if you have a lot of textures or are working with very high-resolution pictures.

= RESOLUTION =

Get a primitive object and open Paint. It will open quickly because` the object is low-resolution and has no texture. Next, disable the hardware textures option in the 3D Shade View Setup dialog box. You can now exit the paint and, next time you open it, textures are not reloaded because they are set to Off.
