I have a character I rigged and decided to include a simpler representation of the characters geometry that I attached to the joints using rigid bind. It was very low poly - about 1700 tris - and attached to the joints using rigid bind, yet after I added it, the file would cause Maya to freeze after a random amount of time and any attempt to reopen the file afterwords would result in the program freezing again within a few seconds. Prior to this change, the file was completely stable and had never froze on me.
Needless to say, I have to have this problem fixed if I’m going to animate this character, so any assistance would be appreciated.
