I have an asset that is around 3.10GB so imported it to Unity. but take forever to import my full day waste on it
I have an asset that is around 3.10GB so imported it to Unity. At first I thought it'd frozen, so I closed Unity re-opened, and just let it do the re-importing. As of writing the computer has been busy importing for nearly 10 hours. I've left it alone as it does seem to be progressing.
Why is it taking this long? Also no my PC is not that old, but I haven't really needed larger files/assets like this before.,
What are you PC stats? Especially memory? A 3GB asset is not large, it's huge. What kind of "asset" do we actually talk about? Audio, image, video, model, ...? $$anonymous$$ost assets require more memory once loaded in memory as they are usually stored in a different way in memory than on disk. If it's a model stored in a compact model format it might take up several times the original size. If your physical memory is not large enough to hold it in memory (besides the OS, Unity and other programs) the OS would start swapping out memory to disk. This makes access to this data probably a 1000 times slower. If it has to constantly swap out parts of the memory in order to complete, yes it would take forever. So without more information this question can not be answered since you didn't even mentioned what you actually import.
Also you used the tag "Unity5". Are you really using UnityS.x?
