you should really warn people that the polycount is well over 1,000,000.............nice model though, but you dont need that many polys in this very simple model

1 mil polys?!?!?!?!

No way I'm going to download this one lol. There should be a basics tutorial for Maya about poly count and so forth.

I wouldn't risk it. My work PC took over 15 mins to open and calculate the model.
