Multiple 3d models

Hello!

I'm doing a project where I'm making a virtual supermarket with an infinite hallway and multiple products. I have about 75 3d models of products and 3 aisles. I have the aisles and products in 2 separate Max patches. ALL OBJ files. They work separately but when I combine all of the elements together Max crashes.

I'm wondering what the ideal 3d file format for max is to optimize memory usage.

I have 75 product files that are about 5mb each. and my hallway files are about 1 gb. which I know is a lot, but they work completely fine on their own in their own files. In fact they work better than the 75 products which are way way smaller computationally.

I want to maximize smoothness but I don't understand what's going on.

Thanks

Max
