How can I reduce poly's in an object? (Other than deleting stuff) Also, how can I reduce lag on a map, other than VIS?

Optimise your meshes - find and remove unnecessary/unseen polygons (You'll have some, trust me - mainly backfaces). Reduce the number of sides on curved surfaces - smoothing groups will keep them looking rounded.
In short, go round everywhere - you should be able to save 20\%-50\% this way (depending on how you made things)

yeah, It's basically just deleting whatever you can't see. And never make a cylinder with more than 3 sections and/or 18 sides

When you say "Smoothing groups" does that mean using the Smoothe Mesh modifier?

No, smoothing groups just smooths the transition between adjacent sides that have the same smoothing group number, giving the appearance of a curve.

yeah thats good for its amount of polys, does need decreasing. I remeber when i did my first model, never thought a second about "too many polys= really really bad." my first model was about 12,000 ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
