1. Either redo all 21000+ frames of animation to avoid it, or make the model slimmer.

Yeah I was afraid that was the only answer. So there's nothing else I can do about it?

What about Reelo... He was a fat guy to... Can't you use him for reference :)

Re: Interesting modelling question
 

Well that is an excellent idea :) but sadly Reelo just has his hands go right through his stomach too. :Censored: They don't go through as much as Comic Book Guy's will, but they still do.

on the left panel do model>create>polymesh>merge and have the meshes selected that you want to merge and to show the polygon counter just click on the viewport you want it in and hit shift+S and go into the stats tab and click on display objects and triangles or whatever its called, cant remember. to reduce polygons just go into model>modify>polymesh>polygon reduction and itll reduce the polies. its best to merge everything into 1 mesh then UV map, texture and rig it then subdivide it, youll get a cleaner UV map with no seams and no tears in the mesh when it deforms.

Re: Interesting modelling question
 

I don't have that option. It must be for full XSI users only then. The other two things you told me worked nicely though. But don't bother about that because I manually reduced my polygons enough.

Re: Interesting modelling question
 

well you could also easily hit either E or I, thyre 2 different edge selection modes and you can just delete edges.

Re: Interesting modelling question
 

Yeah that's what I did to get to get rid of the 1400 polygons I've lost so far.
