Back Ya,... I read that around page 217-ish in the manual,.. The thing is though that I work on stuff at home and at work when i'm not busy and saving internally is nice so I can just upload once to the ftp and work on the same thing from either office or at home. This cuts down on confusion for me but I guess I have to wait a few minutes extra to dl the files. Thank Gates for T-1 lines I guess. :/ I was just wondering if there were any ninja secrets to cutting down the file size without compromising the ease of file saving.. Thanks for the reply Steven

One of the quickest ways to inflate file size is to check the option to save textures internally -- it appears in the dialog you get whenever you save the file. Any bitmaps that you're using to texture the object become part of the file. That's great if you want to render the file on several different machines & don't want to hassle with setting up folders or re-texturing the object each time. But the file size can instantly become huge. I almost always leave the textures external to the .car file.
