Back
I have a rigged character model that started out at around 3 meg and ended
being 22 meg.
I dug around in the Explorer and found a VERY long list in Layers and Passes
and Materials. I deleted all of these except the tops ones on each list.
My file size is back down to 4 meg.
My question is:
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN????!!!! Is there a way to prevent XSI from creating
all these materials, layers, passes, so that I don't have to keep spending
all this time deleting stuff I don't need and, as far as I know, never
needed to be there in the first place.
Any help with this matter would be appreciated.
