Hey everyone,

RELA QUICK, before I yank all of my freaken hair out! Can anyone share their workflow for lowering a .dae file size?
Done some digging, they say that .ply has a far smaller footprint but nothing I'm trying is working. Tried a combination of Blender, Maya and Meshlab, they're not helping.

I have exported some hair as a .dea file. That file is only 10mb but has 200 000 tries yet the minute i export the cleaned .dae file out of blender, maya, or meshlab it literally doubles the file size for no apparent reason.

I removed all textures, froze transformations, deleted history, removed doubles, applied transformations, rotation and scale without any luck what so ever.

Has anyone found a solution to similar issues yet?

If you are trying to compress the file you can use 7zip. If your are trying to upload the mesh object you can read this article about reducing the level of detail

Thanks but I plan to upload to SL and really don't want to demolish the original mesh. What I'd really like to know is how the creator managed to sqeeze 200 000 tries and 2 textures into a .dae file that's only 10mb large. Boggles my mind!

My next attempt will be to upload the parts individually, attatch them to the same body part and link them together, I'll export that again as a comparison to the original and reveal my findings here.
