WOW! i would have never guessed so many people tp reply :O
but yeah, i should've told you guys, it's a maya render (using DOF indeed).
total is around 9000 faces (including the ladders pipes and everything).
all my textures are either 512x512 or 1024x1024 (except for the rusty ones from the pipes which are 512x256).
I didnt have time to convert it to 3dgs yet though, thanks for the tip on that one (oldskoolj).
also, a normal map wouldnt be too much of a problem to add, but i kept in mind that it had to be nice looking and be bale to run at a decent FPS on older systems if i ever exported it...
Btw, this is not for any project at all, i simply made it as a test on how maya works and to try out my own texture skills (I made all the textures myself 100% using my camera and whatever texture i could find around here... the pipes are a funny story, i actually hadda climb UNDER my house to get them, lol)
i guess in the end it was worth it, and if anyone here needs a level designer, i could give it a shot (keep in mind, i use maya

).
now, about my texture pack question, anyone interested (free texture pack that is)?
regards,
