I finished migrating my code as suggested and had mixed results. My original code using MultiMaterialBoxes took about 7 seconds to load, using the PlaneMesh3D trick the load time came down to 4 seconds. I was obviously pretty happy with that. Unfortunately, an unexpected side effect is that rotating my 3D object is now extremely choppy.
When I was using the MultiMaterialBoxes I could rotate the entire 3D model smoothly without any problems. Now, when using the Planes, my model rotation is not smooth at all and "jumps" from one position to the next.
Why might this be? And by the way, I am using a pretty good PC. I have 8 GB of RAM, quad core processor, and an nVidia 650 card.
