Hi,

why are all saved model-files are so extremly huge? Even saving a simple box as a model creates a file with almost 22MB! This seems to be a little too much for only 6 polys. My collection so far includes just 150 low detail models with a combined file size of over 5 Gig :-o

Is there a way to reduce the file size to a normal level?

And what makes the files so damn huge?

 

Thanks a lot in advance,

Nupsi

This is a known bug for 3dsmax.
I hope here you can find a solution.

Hi Alex,

thx a ton for your help. I already found this post at AD:

It´s the same solution (I guess) you´ve posted. And sorry for me thinking it may be a bug in Project Manager!

 

Thanks again and best regards,

Nupsi
