Hi Michael, Molehill has a limit to the length of the buffers that are uploaded to the GPU. Away3D 4.0 (the engine) circumvents this by allowing a mesh to consist of many subs-meshes, so it can handle models of any size. However, not all parsers in Away3D 4.0 are currently taking care of this correctly. Most file formats don't have this limitation, so the parsers have to split the buffers as they are read in. As you can imagine we are working on getting this into every parser, and we have indeed planned for it from the outset. The framework is in place already so you will not have to worry about this limitation with Away3D.
