Very strange problem in max 2009 file.... big file size...

[Gabriella_A]

Hello to everyone...

 

I'm doing some interiors for a interiors catalog...

 

I've made a 3d scene... i'm using some hdri and the scene size grows to 600 mb...

The scene it's not so big... so I tried to make it smaller (was about 300 mega yesterday... I changed only some maps...)

 

Now the strange proglem...

If I merge the scene into a totally new file, the size remain the same.

If I delete ALL my objects in the scene, The size remain the same.

I "purged" the materials editor, the bitmaps links... there is NO map in the scene, but the size is still 600 mb...

 

If i "reset" the scene, ( keeeping the hdri enviornment in the slot), the size sets to a few of kb... but if I merge EVEN a cylinder from the previous scene, the size of the scene grows to 600mb!!!

 

sure there is a problem with these scene... but what kind a problem is?

 

please help, and forgive my english...

Fabulos!!

 

That was the problem!!

 

Thanks VERY much!!

 

I never had a similar problem....

I didn't use Reactor... how these collision were generated? perhaps some imported models or the VrayFur ?

 

Thanks again, It was really driving me mad....

(now the file is 59 mb!)

no problems!

its a really annoying bug - took us a day to work it out.

it comes in with materials and objects and can easily spread through all your files.
