@Axi5 Thankyou for the additional info, I'll probably do a bit more additional research on that and see where it gets me (vega FE is still calling my name if I can get it used or on sale).
@Axi5 Thanks! Sorry for just now seeing your comment today :) Regarding my work, actually ... separating the parts out and assigning materials was the very job itself. There's a massive amount of it across several files. In Blender, my viewport performance is perfect ... as long as you aren't in edit mode inside anything.…
