Suki's Muscle-Suit Done But There's a Problem

FIrst of all, the deformations are fan-fuggin'-fastic.

When I did a test with just the right half of her body it took an hour to initialize but the sim went very smoothly. Almost real-time.

Then I finished her and did a test with the whole body. The initialization took forever... I don't know how long it took as I let it go while I slept. I am running a test sim now and it's dog-slow. Around 17 seconds per frame.

Now I have to decide if I want to live with these speeds or take other measures. I could split the body up between the upper and lower body.. Or I could re-model the whole thing with a lower point density. All options mean time will elapse. Splitting the upper and lower body will probably take the least amount of time and result in faster sim speeds. I just so wanted that full-body deformation feel. (sigh) I guess that won't happen until I can afford Houdini or something. :/
