I often get SD  slow as hell .  Loading and rendering  substanses forever  and  wondering how I managed to create  them at all.     Could number of other sbs files previously loaded and visiable curently  in explorer panel be a reason? 

Also should I avoide  doing  several graphs in single sbs?  I am accustommed to versions  as copy paste  the graphs inside same  sbs . Is it a bad practice   and there is better way to save versions of same thing?

Hi @kirkr5689,

 

Interesting question.

 

Substance Designer can indeed have trouble running multiple packages especially if these packages reference other complex graphs.
When Designer loads a package, it also loads all its dependencies in the background, which can be significant depending on the project.

 

Alternatively, you could use the option Save a copy as (RMB on the package > Save a copy as) which is useful to save the current state of the package.

 

Regards,

    Thanks Cyrill . Closing multiple substances from explorer pane  helps . Somehow I haven realised it before.
