Exactly hwo much did you reduce the polygons? :-)
I tried reducing the polygons with the optimizer in Max 3, and the results were less than ideal with anyhting over an angle size of 6. At 6, it reduced the polygon count roughly by half... But that still leaves you with around 60,000 polygons for a complete chess set.
Which is why I didn't bother expeorting the peices. That's still too high. If I set the optimzier any higher the peices broke down into shapeless blobs.
Seems to me that an optimizer should be able to do a much better job than this.
