Will it just break after a certain threshold? Will the size impact my performance, or just loading times? What are your experiences - how far can you go before the loading times become unbearable?
Good Question. I have over 2500 Files in the Folder "AddonPackages" - it does not break - Filter in VAM is set to 450 (?) anyway.
Folder Saves\scene is over 50.000 Files because of vacs + the extracted Version of those vacs
Big "Zips"/Vars load forever without SSD - like 800 MB Characters by Jinblade
a) I tried renaming the Folder AddonPackages and created a new one with only the needed Files for one scene
b) I tried putting VAM on an SSD - not much faster in my case (which seems strange)
In the preferences I see the Texture-Cache. It is 70 GB. What is yours?
I noticed: if you load two or three scenes in a row that are big, VAM gets very memory hungry.
Maybe memory leak? Loading 3 Scenes in a row sometimes makes VAM unresponsive
About RAM: 16 GB is sometimes not enough with other appliations open in windows. Better have 32 GB
So it seems also a question of RAM than file count
If you have more questions PM me, because I do not think this is a thread about tech questions?
