Hiya.
The modeler program I've been using of late (as opposed to XSI) is called "Hexagon". I bought version 2 when it was on sale for 99% off...DAZ (the company) had just bought the program from a french company called Eovia. For some reason, DAZ decided to sell the normally $290.00 program for $1.99. Yes, thats ONE dollar and ninty-nine cents! o_O Well, if you were a "platinum member" of their site...which would cost you $30. So, all totalled, it cost me about $31.99.
They have raised the price, but it's still pretty low. Here's the link:

As for the model itself...yeah, it's a bit "high" poly for a game...but I made it in pieces, so it shouldn't be too hard on the computer. I can also shave off some pollies here and there. But, as the original requester/poster said "whatever polygons it takes"...
So, think of it as "drum kit pieces, each about 250 to 800 poly's"...easier to swallow.
