Title: Model Size Issue
Post by: JKumar on December 09, 2010, 11:39:49 am

HI,
       
        Is there any way to reduce the .ser file size as my single md2 is around 700-800 kb but when serialized it goes to 3.5-4.5 MB which is increasing the size.And my app is required to have 15-20 models.

Any way to reduce the file size?

• Make sure that you serialize it in reduced mode.
• Remove unneeded sequences before serializing if possible. Animation has a method for this.
• Zip the file. The serialized output compresses pretty well.

However, 15-20 individual models sounds pretty much for the limited memory of the Dalvik VM...
