File size growing exponentially with each save
Hello all,
I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to take a look at one file I’m working on which is increasingly taking longer to save, and getting bigger in the process. Last night it was 180mb in size and today I just checked and it’s 642 mb, and at least in my opinion it’s not too complex to warrant such a large size, so I wonder if I’m doing something wrong and also I’m worried that as I continue working on it it will eventually become unmanageable.
If anyone is interested/willing to check my file please let me know and I’ll send you a wetransfer link for download, for the moment I wouldn’t want to post it here.
Thanks for your help.

there is a preference under FILES called “save polygons for melange”. i found that this can progressively increase file size (and the time it takes to save files) the way you are describing. i think melange checkbox is only needed for exporting to certain non-c4d apps, not sure if AFX needs it. try und checking it and see if the problem persists.

That was it, thanks a lot! I turned that on last time because Element 3D needs it and I forgot to turn it back off.
You saved my day man, thanks!

Hello again,
Sorry for bringing an old thread back to life, but I’m again experiencing a large file size on an otherwise uncomplicated file, this time with “Save Polygons for Melange” turned off; still the file reached 2.11 gb and it’s getting very slow sluggish.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
D.
