Quote - I use Rhino 4 currently and been using it since #2, v4 works perfeclty well with Vista 64 bit ultimate.

Rhino, like all NURBS modellers does produce very polygon heavy files. I don't mind that, I love the way Rhino works :)

Vista works very well and stable IF you have a recent PC AND you turn UAC off AND have bothered ot actually update it properly, yeesh!!
Most of the complainers are like virigins talking about sex... :rolleyes:

Moment of Inspiration is a cheaper alternate to Rhino by the way :)

Zbrush is amazing but has the foulest, stupidest UI EVER!!!, ugh. Try 3DCoat instead, also cheaper ;)

Check my gallery, Rhino and Poser imported ot Vue, all in VIsta for past year+ (and some Mojoworld too)

ALL my apps work fine under vista, only things I had issues were was UVMAPPER (had to get update) and a very old plugin for Photoshop (Genesis, simple work around for it)

:)

A trick I had back in my old days was to untrim any surfaces I could and then mesh those using the advanced features with Refine Mesh off. It helps a bunch in keeping the polygons low. There was also an option about flat planes....I think I always had that checekd (can't recall now). Anyway, if you untrim your surfaces and make a mesh, you can re-connect them in your polygon app much more cleanly and with lower poly counts.
