Triangulate poly count
I've just started out modeling in Maya. Long enough to know that this attempt of making the number 1825 has far to many polygons! I planared and lofted betwen CV curves to achieve this mess. Any ideas how I can tidy it up? I have tried using the reduce feature in the polygons menu but it just distorts the shape of the numbers.

Or restart and make sure your cv curves are lower when it comes to the number of points on the curve itself, you can sent or change the setting under rebuild curve optionbox.
That should help with the high number of polys when you convert from nurbs. Polys are not always the best for type and numbers.

Cheers
I used the bevel plus tool and the number now looks really professional.
Here is the new number with a gold shader and I changed the font also:
