Andvari Sir, Its more simpler than you have described. I dont touch the UVW map in polyreduction process. I layout new loops and still dont do any kind of welding or texture mapping.

OK. OK. I don't remember this being a thread for msl_manni to toot his own horn and to offer his services. What you need to do is go to the Jobs Wanted portion of this forum and offer your services there. There are MANY of us here that could have taken over this thread and said something like, "Me! Me! Send your work to ME!" but we didn't do it.

Let's get back to discussing the model and answering the original posters question.

Let me ask you something. We are creating epic action rpg...but we are not sure what performance impact will have the main character of 10k polys. We are not aiming our game on slow pc's. Any answer? Thanks

rendering a model with 10k polygons isn't really a big deal for a modern gpu but gamestudio does bone animation (and stencil shadows) in software so i better would do some performance tests. bone animated 10k polygon models could get quite slow, especially if using weighted deformations.

Andvari,

You give a good (and simple) example, however the model (or portion of the model) you show is ideal for the kind of work you are talking about. However, not all corrections (or reductions in poly count) are that "soft" on the UV map. Some additions of edge loops or some deletions of vertices will traverse UV edge BOUNDARIES and this will royally mess with the UV map. I think you know what I am talking about, but I may post some images later today on this.
