just a note to what geep said about using gif's instead of jpg's.....gif's won't work in ProPack or P4. At Poser 5, they finally got the idea to use gif's.

reducing polys.....what program are you using to create the objects with. most of the higher end apps have some sort of optimise, although the name might vary from app to app. This will reduce the number of polys in an object by a variable factor. A little trial and error will let you see how much you can optimise for differant shaped objects. For flat sided, square objects, you can normally optimise quite hard without losing geometry definition. For more complex shapes, you can't optimise as much, because the mesh will deform. And you can't optimise much on curved faces without it starting to appear facetted.
