OK, I don't know if its the physical scale of the model, or the number of polygons used, or terrible rigging, or what, but whenever I try to animate this guy the computer is just freezing, and I've already deleted history and cant scale him down.

Is it cause I combined all the polygons into one? Am I not supposed to do that? I'm so confused, lol, I just want a simple rig that i can actually play with.


on a lighter note, comments/criticisms on the model are welcome

8000 verts
15000 edges
7000 faces
15000 tris

As for size, he is about 1.5x the width of the default grid tall.

Thanks!

edit: heres a copy of my model, i call him Blargh - https://www.mediafire.com/?pj2vk9myam0
