Hiya David,
<<If I have a big bodied creature>>
you do, eh? ooooooooh! I wish I had one! <g>
What you need to do is create some 'filler balls' that will take up space
inside you mesh. This will get rid of those inside polygons and bring your
face count down to about 1/2 what it is now. If you can't tell if you've got
any internal polygons, render the mesh with a transparent material (2-sideded).
Or, flip the objects normals and take a look at it in Optimize (that way if
you've got an area of inside polygons, their normals will be facing out and you
will be able to pick 'em out real easy-like.
<<I hope I'm making myself clear>>
crystal. 🙂
