There's plenty of data in the samples project to make large scene files. Create a few high resolution objects, rig them to the default skeleton, apply all the sample motion capture data from Jaiqua and Clubbot, duplicate that data a bunch of times, then paste to the timeline as plotted FCurves.
In our production one fully rigged character of 20,000 polygons, 75 enveloped bones/nulls, with 60,000 frames of FCurve animation data spanning 1,000 parameters will equal about 130 MB on disc as a scene file. That's with the rig referenced in the scene. The rig consumes another 20 MB. Soooo, make something like that and dupilcate it 20 times in a scene and you'll have a 2 GB file. Primarily FCurve data creating the size.

Making a deep hierarchy of nulls, duplicating it, and daisy chain constraining it a few times (dozens) and having the geo under that though would always mess things up bang on at the file size limit mark. You can give that a shot, maybe it still "works", or rather, doesn't :) On Mon, Nov 26, 2012 at 9:01 PM, Chris Chia <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Forgot to mention that it would be better to give us a working file (before it hits the 2gb data) which can be opened and tell us what steps you did to make it not working when you tried to reopen again...

The only workaround we found was to split the scene into smaller parts.

The scene opens fine up until a point where I load one more object and once saved the file goes above 2gb in size (at 1.9gb it was openning fine). It doesn't seems to be the object itself since I made some test with different props. It always happen when the file size is above 2gb. When it does, it just doesn't load, Softimage crash while loading. I'll keep doing more test to make sure it's not one of my objects that's causing the problem..but well... Anyone else had this problem? -- Our users will know fear and cower before our software! Ship it! Ship it and let them flee like the dogs they are!
