Always Saves different versions of the file textures when you save different versions of a scene. Use this setting if you are working on different iterations or versions of the file texture. Unless referenced Saves file textures only if the painted character is not referenced. When this option is selected, Maya uses the file textures from the referenced file, even if you save the scene with a new name. If the character is not referenced and you save a copy of the scene with this option selected, Maya creates a copy of the file textures. Never Does not save a new file texture. Use this setting if you are no longer changing the file textures and want to continue to use the saved file textures, even if you save the scene with a new name. Disk cache options This refers to the jiggle deformer requiring disk cache, which is implemented as a DG node and gets updated during a file save. Always Creates a copy of the jiggle disk cache file when the scene is saved for the first time or saved to a new name. The cache file name corresponds with the scene file name. This is the default. Never Does not save a copy of the jiggle disk cache file. Use this option to prevent the copy from being created and save disk space. Basics 206
