Upgrade
I haven't seen the latest latest interface for Modeler, but chances are
you'll have different colors for points and/or polygons.
You can have as many polygons as you desire (and as much ram as you have)
in a scene. You are limited to only 65,000 polys per object however.
This is usually not a problem. I've been doing average scenes lately with
about 190,000 – 230,000 polys. Also , there is a limit to about 1,600
points per polygon (again. not much of a problem). There is now
Luminosity mapping instead of a Luminous button and textures are being
worked on. Hopefully for the release, we will have a bunch of new ones.
I'll have to get permission to upload screen shots.
