Reducing file size

Arinneo

Is there a way to reduce my file size? It's 600mb at the moment.
I've noticed the file got really big after re-meshing for a few times.

Arinneo I'm afraid that there isn't a way, the file size depends on how heavy the scene is, there isn't much to do as the new format is fairly compact as opposed to the previous one.

In the future I may add compression for larger scenes but having compression requires swap space and delays saving/loading.

How many meshes and how many vertices does your scene have?

Search for zbrush reduce polycount in YouTube. I get from 400mb to 30mb in 5 minuts

Only way in Forger would be going object by object and remedy it to a smaller polygon count. Not sure what your model looks like but merging objects also helps managing it.
it is all about subdivision and mesh size/ polygon count.

to be honest forger file format is very compact. It tends to double the size if I export it in OBJ or STL....
I’m also pretty new to modelling and if you are like me, you’re probably making the mesh too fine to get good details.... this is quite common mistake for novice modellers I would say. Just play around reducing the mesh and smoothing it with smooth tool.... you might get very good results with a fraction of the file size....

Thank you! Ｉam new to 3d modeling and tended to make everything super smooth, I figured that's what causing the file so heavy. I reduced the polygon count for all the objects and the file size got much smaller. But I've noticed I'm not able to rebuild sublevel to those combined objects. Are there any other ways to do it?
