Hi,

It would be nice if Prefab3D stopped using resources when it is minimized. It’s pretty voracious right now for something that’s been asked to lurk

Thanks if you can implement that !

When Prefab losses focus it stops all activities. It resumes when gaining focus again. I do not think I can check if minimized state is called or resumed. I’ll take a look at it.

Maybe it is a bug then ?

On my computer an empty Prefab scene uses 20-25% of my CPU when it doesn’t have focus or is minimized.

When I posted yesterday it was taking about 50% with a scene made of 5 capsules with ColorMaterials and 2 lights.

Sounds like I didn’t save the project properly though because it’s empty now, but I’ll remake it and double check later today

I’m using Windows 7 64 bit and Air 3.7.

Ok I got a chance to rebuild the scene. 5 capsules, one plane, one point light, only using ColorMaterials.

CPU usage is 50% whether or not there is focus on Prefab window.
However it drops to 25% when I minimize it. So for some reason all activities are not stopped when focus is lost but some activity is upon minimizing.
