Does anyone know if there is any limitation to how big your scene can be in
terms of units? I've just finished a job and had to quickly open up one of the
scenes I'd done just to find out that a lattice which points were extending
waaaaay out had gotten corrupted... all the points that were scaled beyond what
I am perceiving to be the scene limits couldn't be displayed... no selecting
was working, couldn't even frame them, the cameras were just all going blank
after a certain zooming out range (changing clipping values to millions didn't
help either) and it seemed that all the points that were out of that scene
limits range just weren't responding to anything anymore... disabling operators
on the stack was just making the entire thing scale more and more as I was
going through the stack disabling modelling ops one by one... (Make a cube
with 14 section in Y, grab 4 sections of points at the top and scale them
beyond recognition and they will disappear, making it look like the cube only
ever had 10 sections in Y)...
I know this is unusual and I have never run into this, but this scene was quite
heavy on particles with a wide range of objects with ranges going from too
small to be recognised by XSI (dual decimal value clipping, no floating point
values for parameters inputs, or at least their input) to absolutely massive,
which didn't allow me to scale it down...
Anyone come across this? Is there an official scene scale limit?
