-- [ Picked text/plain from multipart/alternative ] Well, it's a pretty detailed model with a lot of armor and accessories. I'm happy with the model at about 11,000 polys but when I bring it down to around 5,000 to make it work in game it starts to look pretty bad. Polys get removed from spots where they need to be, such as his eyes. So, you said you can't change it without recompiling Hammer and the engine? How would I go about doing that?
Thanks for the help Mark.
