On the topic of poly counts and Poser users I'd like to show you a highly rated environment uploaded to the Poser section of freebies at ShareCG, in fact the most highly rated Poser freebie in months... just download the model and load it via Wavefront obj import AS IS. It isn't in pp2 or cr2 format. In fact it's been exported out of DS (as indicated by comment lines in the obj) and put in a folder and plopped in the Poser section. Apparently it loads fine in DS. Not so much anywhere else (except maybe Vue). Unfortunately it wasn't uploaded to the DS format section, only the Poser section. Tell me if there's anything unusual about this very interesting model, easily one of the weirdest things I've encountered. Oh btw, It's a couple of million polys or more, I stopped trying to figure out how many exactly after I realized that a couple of included open source 3d scan decorations hidden in there were breaking the 2 million mark. This is what Poser users want and can handle if popularity is any indication...

I just tried it in Poser, and it actually works pretty well. Renders very quickly, even in Superfly, perhaps because the textures are simple.

Personally, I prefer this kind of item to be in separate pieces, so you can only load the parts you need, but this is really a pretty amazing item for free. That's probably why people are rating it so highly: they recognize the amount of work that went into it.
