Is there any ways to reduce bgeo's file size?

[daehuck]

Hi, guys

I baked my dynamic scene into bgeo format

But it's size is too big.

64mb per one bgeo.

After bake, I read bgeo sequence in houdini and It doesn't fast at all.

So can i get a more reduced size of it??

It's just a geometry. I don't know exactly why its size is too big.

ANY COMMENTS WILL HELP FOR ME.

Thanks

.bgeo.gz will zip them up for you. They take a little longer to read, but are quite a bit smaller. I use them, as I don't have giga flops of space

you could try adding '.gz' to the end of your file path which will compression them. as in '.bgeo.gz'

Delete all non needed attributes.

thanks!

But, why I want to make smaller is to read faster...

if you are working in networks, file size is affecting your read speed.

or you could save just the point representation of every piece read it back and copy stamp the pieces

here is an example on the help card:

although the copy stamping could be very slow for large number of piece it's worth trying

In that case I think the transform pieces SOP is faster.

However there is no clue to what type of Geometry sim we are talking about...
