in Cinema4D R11.5 demo:
108934 - 3DS
55853 - OBJ

Weird.  Why is C4D not showing the same OBJ count?  Does it remove triangles on import?

DreamlandModels,
Yes, using hi-res texture images on UV mapped objects in Vue will eat up resources.  I usually just have one or two.  The rest of my objects are farther from the camera and I can use 512x512 or 1024x1024 on them instead of 4096x4096.  For terrains, there's a trick to convert 256x256 resolution into 496x4096 without any decrease in resources.
