Crazy Hard Modeling Challenges!

Just tried to minimise the amount of settings SU had to remember, so played around with styles and changed a few things in the model info dialogue.

Remus,
Everything I tried fattened your model. Even very counter-intuitive stuff: Window/Preferences/Shortcuts/Reset All, for one. If this isn't the absolute minimum, it's close. I am VERY impressed.
Anyone think they can do better?
(The SU default template, if you delete Sang, tips the scales at 37600 bytes. That's a lot of bytes to spend for no geometry.)
-
Have you checked for attribute dictionaries that might be attached to the model?

Save template in SU7 I end up with 7.34KB.
Save template as SU3 format - 3.74KB.Almost missed this one, ThomThom. Ah, the good old days! Save As Template balloons it back up to mid-7 KB, but maybe I can sneak it into my template directory without going through SU.
All: no one taking up the tree challenge? I think it's possible.

Thomthom,
Did you actually try that tree?
I get very strange results. Any orbit, hand, whatever performs like the model is many, many megs in size.

I did check it out after I posted the link. It has many thousands component instances. It's high-poly - but small file size since it has no textures and uses lots of components.

I've got to change my challenge's terms and conditions: 100KB that actually feels like 100KB.

Yea - File size isn't a good scale for a "light" component. Textures alone can make a simple model be very heavy in file size - since they store the original size - not the 1024x1024 that SU actually use.
Max 100Kb & 1000 faces? (Maybe a couple of thousands more?) What's it's going to be used for?
