ProBuilder object and iOS/Android build scene size ?

Hi! PB meshes are stored in the scene, so you'll see the scene increase in size as you add more PB objects- especially high-poly items. If you prefer, you can export the PB items, and use the exported meshes instead, but of course you lose editing ability, and the data storage is just moved to your project folder (this will help if you are using prefabs, though).

We're looking into a method of storing PB meshes in the project instead (there is an experimental "Meshes are Assets" toggle in the PB Prefs, actually), but it's going to require major changes, so nothing short term on that.

 

That feature is definitely experimental, yes. I think the best option for now, if you really need to conserve space:

1) Create a "zoo" scene, basically all your PB models that are instanced often, spread out so you can build/edit there
2) When a model is ready for use, select it and use "ProBuilder > Export > Asset"
3) Use that Asset file (mesh) in your actual game scenes
4) If you need to change the mesh, modify the PB version in your "zoo" scene, then re-export and override the Asset file.

I know, it's a clunky solution, sorry. PB began as a "level editor" so this wasn't an issue of course, but now it's used for vehicles/props/weapons/characters/FX/etc and that's awesome but we need to catch up!

 

Nothing new yet, sorry!
