Stan, you forget that the Antic object disks were designed for use in a one meg ST system. It's the Amiga 3D programs that are pigs in terms of memory use. When I converted these disks for Antic, I made them well aware of the large number of triangles in the objects. By comparison with some of the other objects available from other companies on the Amiga, they aren't too bad. For example, consider a work with ten or twelve letters from the Fancy Font disks – the resulting object is often larger than many of the Antic objects. Besides, the Antic objects are also good for splitting into "spare parts", because the arm of a robot can often be used for other things.
