Re: File size limit for Softimage?

[Tom Kleinenberg]

Ran into this recently. We were referencing multiple files generated in
Speedtree, once localized we went over the 2047mb limit. So if it's
multiple files, you can reference them in :)

Thanks guys - I think upgrade is out of the question after the EOL but the
space saving tips might help. This is still a great list!

It might be the user normals, that takes a lot of extra space, unless you
really need it, clearing them might drop the file size considerably

If you load it through crate, and leave the op live, the geometry will be
streamed from disk so your scene file will be very light, and you avoid the
file size limit problem.

Yes there is a file size limit in Si2013.

With Si2014 upwards you can safe files up to 4GB, in 2013 it probably was
only 2 GB.

Have you tried loading everything as Alembic instead of fbx ?
Freezing the geo after importing. Making Quads out of the polys.
Deleting unused clusters (normals and whatever).

55mio doesnt sound too much to me, should easily fit into a 2gb scene.

You might be stuck there, think its 2Gb for 2013. Can you upgrade?

File size limit for Softimage?

[Morten Bartholdy]

I have imported a large geometry from Maya 2014 to Softimage 2013SP1 via
FBX. It takes close to half an hour but eventually I have the geometry,
some 55 million triangles in the scene. After saving that scene, Softimage
crashes every time I try opening the Softimage scene . I get no error
message explaining what the problem might be. Upon inspection the Softimage
scene is 2.097.011 KB. Is there a filesize limit for Softimage 2013SP1
which might be causing this?
