I guess the reason the pz3 is so big is that I have 5 figures. The boots, the vest, the shoulder cover thingie(which is really darth mauls tunic with a trans map),The skant, the cape and Drizzt himself. not to mention the 2 scimitars and sheaths (which have ALOT of polys)and all the textures. Is there a way to make them all one figure? but no like the pz3 to cr2 wat, but accually making them one figure? please help!

I suspect a lot of it has many more polygons that it needs. I once found an .OBJ mesh where someone had used half a megabyte to describe such a simple shape as a baseball bat!

(1) Who is Drizzt? (2) An intricately bumpy pattern can often be described more economically by a bump map than in solid as mesh, for example the corrugations round my suction-dredger-sub's suction hose (in the Poser Fun Stuff).

Well I have never seen a file hit 30 meg before. The largest was around 8-10 meg or so with one figure, tunic, pants, boots, belt, undershirt, hair, sword, dagger and about 5 other little detail things. Not sure why it is so big ... You might try saving the pieces seperately in a test to see what is so big. The main file hide away though in a couple of place so you dont accidentally goof it and delete your hard work. Good luck

Drizz't DoUrden (sp?) is a character created in R.A. Salvatore's Forgotten Realms novels written for TSR (now a division of Wizards of the Coast). He's a renegade dark elf. I've never read any of the books myself - though I did have R.A.'s son as a player at an AD&D table at one Gen Con... :-)
