polys. OH and i have the reference pics of the vase i was talkin about! i gotta shrink them down in photoshop first though... if you want the high def images send me a PM with an email address...

if i remember right, it's around 30k polys... but then again i reduced the floor panels so it might be less now.

neo the cart is looking great. . .keep up the good work. remember the cart will move, so some motion blur will be applied. so if u add any text to a texture, make sure it is very hi res. your texture should be 2k x 2k at least.

some really good news as well. . .we were supposed to shoot yesterday, but due to some internal challenges not related to this program, we rescheduled two more weeks. another good thing is the program will most likely air on memorial weekend. it is for sweeps and that weekend is always a larger viewing audience. dunno why, i myself will be outside partyin.
