Mesh Deduplication in SynthEyes

In this tutorial, Russ Andersson explains mesh deduplication in SynthEyes, a method to save storage space by avoiding redundant copies of the same mesh across multiple SynthEyes files. Using a Stanford bunny mesh as an example, Russ demonstrates how to set up mesh deduplication in the preferences, enabling the software to save significantly smaller files by referencing a single mesh file. He discusses different modes of deduplication, such as importing the mesh directly, saving as a SynthEyes binary mesh (SBM) for efficient reading, and storing meshes locally on faster drives. Russ also explains the use of version modes for maintaining different iterations of the mesh and cautions against potential hazards when deleting files. For sharing files, the tutorial covers how to include the mesh directly to avoid missing references. Additionally, Russ shows how to import and export SBM files within SynthEyes. This feature is particularly useful for managing large models and set data, ensuring efficient storage and easy file handling.
