Dear friends,
i just wanted to know ,
does network bandwith or speed will affect maya file referencing
for example ,
I have all my assets in central storage,
my animators will refer from that central server,
but it takes long time to refer an asset when the file is opening..
(a character rig is approx 100mb)..
lets say if i had 5 characters referenced to an animation scene.. it takes
quite a long time to open..
so my doubt , is the slow down is because of network router ..
(we use qualified quad core xeon workstations)
please advice how to minimize the time of referncing
kind regards,
stanley

Faster network? Faster storage server (in the disk IO dept)

Get a good network tech to check your setup. There are many things that can go wrong in network configuration and it's nearly impossible to resolve this remote.
