Long Saving Time

[Nicool]

I've not open your file, but :

2mb is quite heavy for this kind of scene. You could try File>Optimize Scene Size and also Edit>Hsitory>delete (!! will delete all history nodes !!)

Does it happen with this scene only? It is possible your computer is lagging at saving a file (because of a sucking Antivirus for instance). Otherwise, learn more about the Maya clipboard, you could try to copy-paste these planes into an new (clean) scene file. Finally, you could export to OBj and import it back in Maya.

Hey thanks for the reply. I've already optimized scene and cleared the history on it. I've also tried exporting it out but even the exporting part takes a long time to load. The reason I'm bringing this up is because I have a separate maya file that's like 12 mb and it opens and saves in seconds. All this is is planes and I don't understand why. I'll try the OBJ export and see how that does. Any other takers? Oh yeah, I'm doing this on a G5 too. It should be a beast here but for this small scene, it's kicking the computer's ass.

turn off show DAG node only in the outliner, and check for unnecessary nodes....ie character poses, static channels, other useless stuff like that.

Some how your lightLinker1 node has gotten tens of thousands of connections. Try this script to clean it up:


{
string $destinations[] = `connectionInfo -dfs hyperGraphLayout.msg`;
string $dst;
for ( $dst in $destinations ) {
disconnectAttr hyperGraphLayout.msg $dst;
}
$destinations = `connectionInfo -dfs defaultLightSet.msg`;
for ( $dst in $destinations ) {
disconnectAttr defaultLightSet.msg $dst;
}
}


It may take a while to finish, but once complete saving should be a jiff.

Out of curiosity, how did you create this scene? Did you start with a scene from an earlier version of Maya? Have you imported a bunch of other scenes at one point or another?

I ask because there used to be a problem with this sort of light linker bloat but I was under the impression it had been fixed a few releases ago (and I haven't noticed it since).

AHHHH!!! :thumbsup:

Damn dude it saves in like a second now!! I have no clue how any of those got in there. I unchecked the DAG objects that stallion suggested but there weren't like 10k nodes. I dunno what was up but dude.....thanks. 5 min of saving sucks when you have different revisions. See, that's why I attached the file too cuz then everyone suggests stuff I already tried.

Rock on. :buttrock:

bruegger, u r the ****ing MAN

my save time was 1.5 hours, it is now 3 seconds

holy shit man, please fell good about urself. u just made our lives a lot better. u made the world a little better place man

[stallion151]

what about reference nodes? i reference my objects in my scene and i get like 2000 referenced light linker nodes, thats slowing me down too, but i can't remove them.

any ?

[Socr8s]

Remove them in the reference file itself using Bruegger's script.

[stallion151]

got thousands of reference files....

but i've gone one better...not using maya f#$@#d up referencing, gonna get a programmer to write something better for us. ;)
