No, the exported .obj file is 4gb. I’ve just heard back from Maxon, and they think it’s a problem with having to bake the instances into actual geometry, which makes sense because there’s a small section of trees with leaves. No being hugely familiar with this stuff, I wouldn’t have expected such a large increase in file size, but it makes sense to me.

So as I continued to mess around with it, I added effectors and removed them and somehow the color got reset. I’m still not sure exactly what was going on. My thinking right now is that it’s a glitch that has something to do with using multiple color effectors and removing them… like the effector sets the MoText color and then when you delete it, the color doesn’t reset. Maybe. If I figure it out, I’ll post about it, because now I’m not sure how the problem went away.

Well, as stated, the drive on which the project file has likely been disconnected and vaulted somewhere. So searching in my OS would be useless. The intention here is to see if I can use the metadata from the file I have to find the name of a drive. If I could read the metadata (i.e., the file path used by After Effects when it opens a project using the command-e shortcut) then I could find out what drive it’s on and see who in my office vaulted it and when. Then I could locate it.
