Attribute data size limit?

thomthom · 5 May 2011, 15:27

Has anyone encountered size limitation in regards to how much data one can store in an attribute?

I haven't noticed any - but I just wanted to check to be sure.

Hi TT,
The 'largest' attribute I had to store was a marshalled object of about 100Kb and this caused no problem.
How big did you try ?

LightUp stores all your normalmaps as compressed attributes and I ran into this limit.

By trial and error, I settled on 750000 as being a safe upper limit. ie LightUp chunks your data into blocks of 750000.

Any difference in the limit using Ruby v1.8.6-p287 on Win32, as opposed to the obsolete v1.8.0 under SU 7.x ?

You managed to marshal objects into attributes? I just got data loss when I tried that:

Hi TT,
I was speaking of an own object type (array of parameters for instance), not SU entities or objects.
