Are you a 3D artist? Are you looking for some inspiration? Do you just want to collaborate or know who your fellow ModDB artists are? Doesn't matter what application you use or how you do it... if you're a modeller, animator, skinner or looking at getting started with 3D, then this is the group for you!

Description
I was trying around in 3D (3DSMax) and this came out of it :P
It has waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much polygons and triangles though.
Going to try if i can model it more efficiently next time
- over 17000 polygons
- over 34000 triangles
cool
Hmm i now see that MeshSmooth adds ALOT of polys and triangles xD
Without smoothing it has:
- 8580 triangles
- 4329 polygons
Well i remodeled it. It looks exactly the same but has alot lower poly and triangle count.
With MeshSmoothing it has:
16416 triangles
8208 polygons
Without it has:
1008 triangles
522 polygons
I can post a new picture if needed :P
Holy crap that's still a lot of tri's. In a game engine you'd want to cut that down to like 50, max. You'd fake it with a cylinder and a decent texture.
yea, no more than 50 for a game, in a movie u can stick to maximum 1000 and have an amazing result, so.. ^^ looks cool though, texture is a bit undetailed in the front but its still good^^
