I guess I'll have to bring these suggestions up to the CG Sup. Not really my call here. Thanks a lot for bringing it up! I just need to get these files out today. Anyway, it seems we've found a workaround. But thanks again for the suggestions Christopher!

What's stopping you from using referenced models within each of your rig? I can't remember if it's buggy or not to have nested referenced models but just check how it goes. You could for example put your geo in a model and reference it within your rig.

On top of that, and if it's not already the case, you'll have a nice rigging structure where the data (geo) is splitted from the logic (rig). Exactly like how every respectable piece of code is designed, which makes it easy to reuse or swap things around.

    Not really. These are rig files, and have multiple resolutions
    stored inside which are then split by the publishing system. They
    are not scene files (in the traditional sense of the word).

    At first glance, saving 2GB of data into a single scene doesn't
    sound like a good practice anyways... can't you offload some
    logical pieces using referenced models?

        There was limitation like that but on 2014 version is now
        4gb I think (on Linux it is still  2GB limit).

            Hello everyone. I just wanted to know if it's true that
            SI files have a size limit. I'm working on a file I
            cannot save. Every time I try to, Softimage tells me
            that certain elements were not saved, and that I should
            contact Softimage. If I try to open said fail, SI
            crashes almost immediately. People here at work are
            telling me that apparently, SI cannot save/load files
            over 2 GB. I just wanted to confirm this is true so I
            can take appropriate actions. Thanks!
