No, I know that, but the poly count is real BIG !!!! When you toggle "wireframe on shaded", the model just turns black.

Anyone here plays Tibia?

No, it's something like...millions of small wires connected...maybe i will reduce it. Or it will be really hard to do anything.

Ok, I get the picture now. I get the impression you polysmoothed a little too much when you started the model. If thats the case, I reccomend you start over from scratch. It might be pretty hard to reduce your polycount if you mesh is that heavy. Still, I would like to see a screen shot of what it looks like, if you would be so kind.
