Hi all,

Aside from the obvious benefit of portability when you want ot move a Vue document outside of the local disk structure -- or send a self-contained copy someplace --  are there any performance benefits or negatives in saving Vue files with incorporated textures?

Pros or Cons?

Thanks in advance,

Your material, object or scene file is going to be larger, of course, and it will open outside the environment with no issues. Don't incorporate the image maps and Vue will start calling for them and the file will open up black outside the environment.

If you want your file to be light, then before incorporating your textures, optimize them first as in Photoshop's 'save for web' or equivelant.

Thanks for the feedback . . .

So otherwise, there are no performance issues realted to incorporated textures? Like CPU overhead and memory requirements for managing the larger file -- vs. overhead for tracking the texture soures? That sort of thing?

Nope...just larger file sizes is all.

Thank you Monsoon, I appreciate the input.
