Has anyone had problems with particular files that are large for no apparent reason. I have a file with one character and it is 94 megs. I have another file with a similar character that is only 8 megs. I have run the file through Norton and it comes up clean. I have taken the step of deleting the blendshape targets. I have deleted unused nodes in the hypershade for materials and textures. I have attempted to show all dag objects in the outliner but the file just hangs up for hours without displaying. I have had problems with optimize scene size. If I try to run it through optimize scene size more than once, it returns a fatal error. I really am at wits end with this project because I need to prepare this in short order. Any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
