here is the screen from my work machine: 3.1 mil cube exported from mudbox and doing a simple vertex transform with soft selection on, i will say that its quite laggy to manipulate that 3 mil cube. it took around 20 sec to execute that transformation. but it doesnt crash. at my home pc i can do roughly twice the amount and…

Does anybody have any recommendations with a good poly-count level? EDIT: The polycount in the top left corner isn't accurate for the model since the scene…

I always punch in "boards.polycount.net" and it redirects to "polycount.com/forum" How is this done specifically?
