Snow Tool locks world machine thread

When ever using the Natural Filter “Snow” and sliding any slider the whole program comes to a full stop for anything between 3-15 seconds, it makes it almost impossible to work with.
Anybody know about this problem and maybe knows some super awesome fix?

Hi there,

quick question: how high is the “snow amount” slider? This controls the duration of the simulation and so a large amount here (coupled with a high preview resolution) will cause a slow/unresponsive UI as it calculates the effect.

To solve this, either reduce your preview resolution until things are responsive, or reduce the snow amount.
