Some info about the new .obj export:
Keith Young (Riptide plugin - Wavefront export for C4D) kindly helped me out with the optimized export. Thanks!
The new optimized option is only recommended, if you don’t have objects larger than 50.000-70.000 polygons in your scene. Its perfect for exchange, since its only ~ 1/4-1/3 of the size of unoptimized output. It takes a bit longer, though.
Some test-data:
[u]500.000 Polygons:[/u]
New unoptimized: 21.6s - 185MB
Old: 107.4s - 221MB[u]50.000 Polygons:[/u]
New unoptimized: 2.4s - 18MB
New optimized: 73.8s - 8.5MB
Old: 10.8s - 21MB
