1790 pollies for a model, is it bad ?

[Chucky]

I'm currently working on a ogre hero model and I want to know if that nr. of pollies is too high ? I think it's ok for a hero...problem is I can't reduce the pollies anymore cause it will look like crap I think...Here's the thread:

And this is in no way an attempt to make people look at my thread...
Thanks...

Not really that bad, considering it's a hero, but it still kind of is on the high-poly side. Especially considering how there's no detailing in the actual faces.

if 1700 is the count on your current WiP, I'd say that it is too much(at least for wc3)
around 600-1000 faces for legs, arms and chest would be fine. Oh and the heads look kinda bad(they should have around 200-500 faces each), cause they only seem to be made of balls, but I hope you'll still work on them, when you import them into 3ds max or whatever you are using.

A WC3 model with 1790 polies st this stage is a bit too much, better use them for some details as said above. It's nothing fatal though, as long as you don't spam it in a map.

I guess it depends on file size and wrap.
