Sluggish Dam standard at low poly count?

[louvfx]

Hi,
I am working on a model which started from a default dynamesh sphere.
The sculpt only has 150,000 polys, however when I use the DAM Standard brush, my stroke is extremely sluggish. (ie if I draw a long line, it takes another second for the stroke to catch up to my pen tip)

If I start a new project and make my mesh 40 million polys, the dam brush works fine, no delays.

Has anyone run into this and if so, what’s causing it?
BTW, all the other brushes seem to behave fine, no delays. Just the dam standard.
Thanks!

Sculptris Pro, Lazy Mouse, and Dynamic Subdivision are all features that come with a performance impact to varying degrees in different situations. If any of those are enabled, try disabling them.

This would seem to indicate it’s a situation specific to your original tool. If you’d like us to take a closer look at it, please go to Pixologic Support and start a conversation there.

Thank you!
