WOW man, as a new modeler myself I must say...that is HUGE file size. I made a model with 220,000+ polygons which of course Vue imported fine and after the .vob export it was only 80Megs, which is rather large. Maybe you should look at the way your modeling to start(; As for decimation, well it depends on what it is, i havent had any luck with it in Cinema, but Hexagon i know nothing about. I did learn very fast though, it is VERY important to get a routine and learn tools and model the same thing over and over till you learn all the shortcuts :D I have the exact same model for comercial use down to 87,000+ and nothing different at all.

The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science...
