Crashing

[Gustov]

Is there anything i could do to help alleviate crash's when opening a large scene. I saved with texture view on and now when i try opening a the scene maya takes forever to load up and then it crashes whenever i click something.

Often times that's a problem with the size of your textures. What's the resolution on most of those?

Often I'll see students working at 4096 or larger. Generally, you never need higher than 2048...and most of the time a 1024 map works fine.

Try downsampling your textures, and then open your scene and see if it runs better then.
