I´m working on a couple of characters and I would like to keep a low number of polygons used on the modeling of the character. Right now my character already´s got 1040 faces. Is that too much ?

Hi Stwert!No...
But it would help to know what you want the model to be used for, and how far along in the modelling you are too
Actually, i´m planning to make a short animated film (3 minutes or so). I plan to use in the same scene various elements for my background (houses, clouds, trees ...
I don´t intend to animate in the same scene more than two characters.
So ... I guess I really got to pay attention to the weight of these objects.
