Why does G-Force pause or “freeze” when I manually switch FlowFields?
Calculating/preparing a FlowField is an intensive process. Normally, these calculations are spread out over 10 to 15 seconds, making the additional CPU load difficult to observe. However, when G-Force FlowFields are switched manually, G-Force must perform all the calculations immediately, causing a momentary pause/freeze. You can minimize this by checking the “Smooth manual FlowField switching” option in the G-Force Toolbar’s advanced settings. Note: enabling smooth FlowField switching will cause a several second delay to follow your FlowField previous/next button presses (this is because G-Force needs time to calculate the next FlowField while not interrupting the current visual output).
