Why so much Polys Tariqrf?

When I tried going for three smooth passes in the xenomorph, count would go as high as 30.000 or some. I know the xenomorph model has less detail, but all in all, it shouldn´t go up as high right?

Perhaps I´m wrong and I should model some more, however I just found it too high a number.

current cables look great, do you mean how could you do then differently? Undseth posted a technique a while back in the old "How I did it" forum. Using a circle extruded along a curve. You could then convert them to polys and maybe they wouldnt be so heavy.

You must have quite a meaty machine to handle 145,000 polys!!

god knows... here is a wireframe, btw, I have a:

P4 2.8 GIG
1 GIG RDRAM (PC 1066)

hmm... after all smoothing is not bad!!! only that it makes it 205,000 polygons user added image

, my pc sometimes glitches but is a bit smooth tho

btw, i am using the same method i did like i used to from the beginning i used maya to create cables, i create a circle, then a profile curve and extrude... i was asking for a C&C about the cables, not how to do it.. user added image

thanx anyway, sure it helped alot of other noobies out there

hmm. one thing i forgot to tell, there are loads of stuff in the belly of the beast so, yeah, that is one of the things that kills the poly count... btw, isn't this the ideal model for the next james bond game???? user added image
