Thank you for the tips! The reason I asked, is that at about a million polys, the poly count turned red, and I knew that I had a ton more that needed to go into the scene. I thought that maybe the red counter was some type of warning. So some imports tend to choke it up faster huh? How about Poser imports? Right now, I'm at about 3 million polys, .8 million of which is from a poser import with probably close to 100 textures if all of the material zones count (if not, then maybe only around 20 or so). So far, things seem to be going ok. I'm just worried because at one point, the scene did crash to the desktop (at around 1.4 million polys). Fortunately, I make a habit of doing what Djeser suggested anyways (in fact, I'm even more anal about it that many people, as I save under a different file name about every third save....I've had way too many files become corrupted in other apps during saves, so I'm quite paranoid that way (G;`, ). I'm sorry if these seem like total newbie questions, but when it comes to Vue, that's what I am (only had it now for about a month). When I'm done with this scene, I'll post it here so you guys can take a look! Thanks again! Tony
