"A good merchant tries to accomodate their customers, rather then tell them to get a new computer or be judgemental of their decision to not upgrade as often as you think is necessary."

Very true.. and all of my product catalog  falls into the efficientcy catagory. Polycount though in most cases, is probably the smallest impact on resources out of everything.

Granted, as ya said, you don't want a million poly model, but there almost seems to be a fanatical obsession with lower and lower polycount content "being JUST as good as the high poly count stuff", and in many cases, that's just not true. Look at the amazing creature morphs in V4, and then look at Posette, who some are touting as "Just as good if not better!" then V4. Try to even pull off a fraction of the v4 creature morphs, and ya just cannot do it.

Like everything else, a balance needs to be found, and you learn that by doing... you can't just pick that up from a forum post or two.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
