FBX Export nearing 48hours

Is this normal? So long?

 

164M tris. I downsampled to 20M tris and it exported fine. Now I'm trying the full resolution model - I unwrapped and got the texture quality to 69%. The point cloud exported in a few hours but the FBX is taking forever. I thought it had crashed after 20 hours so I aborted but I've started again and I'm now approaching 48 hours and the progress bar hasn't moved since about 2hours.

Is there anything I can check to see if it is actually still processing and I wait it out?

 

Many thanks

  Hello dear user,
  we are very sorry for reaching out to you so late.
  This could actually happen as the model is huge and .fbx tends to have quite a file size. For exporting such big models I would recommend you to use .obj rather FBX could be having issues with so many polygons.

  Hi Erik,

  I made a lot of changes, so many I cannot remember but I made it work now.

  I can recommend the COM window. If you make this visible in the middle of the screen it is possible to see if RC is still processing the data or the system has crashed. I think here, the system had crashed because it does not take this long to export an FBX.

  Many thanks, the software is incredible

  EDIT - I switched the data to an external SSD and I also changed the USB port on my computer, it made a huge difference.

  Chris
