Problems Importing Large wrl files?
 

hi..jus a quick beginner question here....

ive got a model created in 3ds max and exported as vrml file. The wrl is around 19.5mb and it takes forever to load in Vizard, sumtimes causing it to stop responding. is it jus a matter of upgrading my computer or are there ways to get the file to load a bit quicker? deleting objects or maybe compressing it(dunno if thats possible)?

thanks

If you are using 3dsmax then I highly recommend you use our max exporter which is freely available on our downloads page. It will export models to Vizards native format. You can choose between the text format (.osg) or binary format (.ive). The binary format loads very quickly and embeds all texture data inside it. The exporter also has an option to compress textures, which further reduces the size and loading time of the ive file.

thanks for that ill give it a go...

cheers
