Im working on a game that use 3ds files as main object format.
And somehow, when I export to .3ds, the poly count goes up alot.
From 500 polys in cinema to over 900 polys in max format.
I've tried the same with a .obj format and the same happens, whats wrong with Cinema's exporting.
Im using Cinema 4D XL 7.0

-thanks

... my guess is that your quads are getting triangulated on export (definitely the case with .3DS) or import (with .OBJ). :shrug:

try triangulating your model in Cinema before exporting in order to get an actual poly-count (including tris)
