317 MB Alembic eats up 8 GB Graphics Card RAM?


Recommended Posts

hi,

I am loading an alembic file (317 MB) and when I run nvidia-smi, I see memory is almost full (see attached)! I don't know much about Alembic files (neither OpenGL), but how come a small file (e.g. 317 MB) fills an entire 8GB RAM? I turned on ALL optimization in Houdini Viewport, yet the viewport still super slow. The most important question: Is there anyway I can optimize that file for viewing (I still need to use it somehow, so I still need to see it). Tx
