Reality Scene Data

in Technical Help (nuts n bolts)

What is this stuff? Where is it coming from? And why is it growing? Sometimes I have close to 20,000 of them. They seem to grow like a fungus. It takes up space on my harddrive and it takes forever to save and reload a scene.

Is this some sort of DAZ virus that I caught from somewhere and how do I get rid of it and keep it from happening? Currently I just delete them when I see them.

    If you're not using the reality render engine then yes, you can safely delete them. I get them too.

    Some products have them (probably unintentionally) saved with the props so when you load the prop or scene, they are loaded up as well. Then when you delete the scene/prop they remain. Then you merge that scene into a new one and they've just migrated over, adding to reality data that might be in the new scene.

    Thanks. Exactly what are they?

    Information for the Reality engine when rendering the items or something like that

    Possible fix - you can clear reality data from a scene by saving the scene as a scene subset then merging it into a new scene.

    Ive never heard of items generating reality data in a scene without having reality installed (not that that means anything), so may have no effect on your issue if its coming directly from loaded objects. I have always assumed no reality data is created until you actually launch the reality interface, then that data is stored in the daz scene file. But without reality even being involved... hmmm.

    If i recall correctly, one of the Urban Future sets has reality data saved in the scene (I've never even had a reality demo downloaded on my machine)

    So some products do have it but I believe it's either completely unintentional or it could be saved there on purpose for Reality users but I'm thinking unintentional.

    Glad I found this thread, this was driving me nuts. Same thing was happening to me, was acting like a virus for me as well. I don't use reality engine, never even heard of it before now. Not sure where it came from, but saving as a subset did get rid of it.

    So, I have red and green marks in my viewport and render that won't go away. When you hover, they identify as reality scene data (4). I have no idea where they came from, can't find any others, didn't put them there, and the only figure still in the scene from when they first showed up is a genesis 8 female. It's only the girl and 2 dogs, no environment, no movement, just a still shot render. I can't find them in the nodes to delete it. Can anyone tell me how to find and delete them? They were visible in the render.

    OK so I have never had reality on my system, did not like it when it was available. So how did I get it and oh boy have I got It, the last count I had in one file was 40,325 whatevers. And I presume there is only one way to dispose of it in existing files that I have already saved is to load it, do the subset thingy and then resave it. I have done that and thus far it is gone from some files. But if someone is using it then I think they should mention it in the items blurb so that we all know it is there and can avoid that product.

    They may have come with content, or a shared scene file.

    http://docs.daz3d.com/doku.php/public/software/dazstudio/4/referenceguide/scripting/api_reference/samples/elements/remove_prefixed_data/start provides the tools needed for removing scene data using a perfix, in this case it iss et to remove Octane data (which has, or had, similar issues) but should be adaptable for reality.
