Scripted Operators / Performance

Scripted Operators / Performance

Hi everyone

I am trying to make a facial rig where you are able to cange the position of
the bones like you want so that you can simply envelope it on every human like
charakter.

For this I use scripted operators so that the controlers I made for the rig
will work also after changing the position of the bones.

Now my problem is the scopes needs a real big amount of my cpu power. Using the
controlers wich drive the bones (and scripts) isn't fun anymore because of the
bad performance.

Did I do something wrong in the scripts so that they are sooo slow or isnt't it
possible to write scopes AND have good XSI performance at the same time ??

My idea is, there are to many out connections updated every time the script is
running.
The idea behind is: There is one slider wich controls the open/close of the
lids (Lider steuern - in the script), and one slider wich controls the
direction of the eyes. When changing the direction the lids should slightly
move with the direction of the eyes (Augen Direction steuern - in the script)

Maybe you have some ideas on optimizing this, would be great.

greetings mario





Here is the script I wrote:

FaktorY = 100

If controler_direction.value.posx <> "0" Or controler_direction.value.posy <>
"0" Then

Select Case Out.Name

Case "Bone0_out"
Out.value.posx = Bone0.value.posx.value + controler_direction.value.posx.value/
(FaktorX*0.8)
Out.value.posy = Bone0.value.posy.value + controler_direction.value.posy.value/
(FaktorY)

Case "Bone1_out"
Out.value.posx = Bone1.value.posx.value + controler_direction.value.posx.value/
(FaktorX*0.5)
Out.value.posy = Bone1.value.posy.value + controler_direction.value.posy.value/
(FaktorY)

Out.value.posx = Bone2.value.posx.value + controler_direction.value.posx.value/
