After a long hiatus, I'm working on my fantasy armor again.

This is a preliminary shot of one of teh shoulder strap options.

Now the question is, those chain links. There's over 150 of them on the right side of the top alone. The polycount will be quite high, just because of those chains. The top as you see it weighs in at over 44,000 polygons, most of them due to those chains.
The top still needs some extra geometry, mostly nails and studs. I guesstimate that the total polycount of the top will approach 90,000 - if I keep those chains.

Is that too much? Should I go for fewer, larger chain links?

Edited to add a nudity tag. There's nothing really visible, but better safe than sorry

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
