Polygon can be a misleading term when you're trying to size up a model. One polygon can have 3 verts, one polygon can have 4 verts, one polygon can have 59371 verts. Splitting a quad into two triangles wouldn't do anything on it's own to change the vertex count, so while it sounds like there are twice as many polygons, the…
So whatever items you can batch together, those can be as low LOD as you want. As in my grass example, you have 2 triangles per grass blade. What you dont want to do is say, "well this is dumb 2 triangles when it could draw 598 more for free and I would have the same framerate". Instead try and batch those small objects…

Not really holes, i was thinking more of rice paper thingy on the window. I had an extrusion tho, on lod0 but i had to squeeze that for the 600 tris limit (im actually at 598 D: ). Note that valve model is 754 tris, unfair ! But yeah i'd like particles emission, so i don't really know what to do. Looks like i can't export…
