I'm not sure how you can reduce the poly count in anim8or since I only use it for making morphs. I've never actually modelled in it. But I'm sure there must be a way. When you say it's too big for download, how big are we talking here? Huge? Mega-huge? I model in 3d max and at first, I didn't even think about file size. Then when I got the stuff in poser, I had things like earrings that were 5 megs each and stuff. LOL. So I started reducing number of sides, segments, etc to a more reasonable number. There's a fine line between huge file sizes and reasonable quality. It's just a matter of finding it. On balance, I'd advise you to concentrate on the poly count reduction, if possible. mac PS Try checking the anim8or site tutorials. Maybe there's something there that would help.
