Hello,
I have loaded some .obj and .fbx files with animations in here and it seems they are all cooking even while I’m not using them. How is it possible to handle so many 3d files?
Thanks!
Hi @Uberschall,
usually something must be looking or using them in order for the FBX COMPs to cook.
Can you share a simple example that replicates your setup and shows a FBX COMP cooking?
cheers

Hi Snaut,
Thanks for your reply. It’s a big complex project file. I will make a copy of this part to share it here. I think that will be the best option but I can only do this tomorrow. So will be back with a toe file then.
Thank you so much
Paul

Hi @Uberschall,
sorry I didn’t catch that before, what you are seeing is the last time it cooked.
For example in the screenshot below, while the filein1 SOP has a red circle, this is just the time it consumed during the one time it did cook.
In the upper left corner you can see probe cooking.
Initially you had said you are working with imported geos that contain animations - are those constantly cooking? You can check by middle mouse clicking on them having all viewers off.
Hope that makes sense
Cheers
Markus

Hi @snaut
My obj files are still red even without animations but maybe it’s because the files are big and have many polygons.
But thanks so much for your help.
Best regards
Paul
Also in the probe view there’s a difference between a pile of discs (red arrow) which means it is still cooking, and a single disc on the ground (blue arrow) which means it had a cook in the past.
So even though you see red discs, if it is only one, that node is not cooking at this moment. As @snaut said, middle click on a node in your network to see if it is still cooking at this moment. In that case you’ll see changing numbers in the popup. If the nunbers are static it means it is not cooking and you’re looking at the time it took the last time it cooked.
