Reasonable Poly Count?

[apexmotion]

What would be a reasonable poly count for a 2 bedroom condo with furniture? Our condo scene is constantly crashing right after the light cache calc or when we try to shade the view in the viewport. I'm trying to track down the issue.

We're converting to Proxies and the other memory tips. The scene is currently about 3 million polys. Unfortunately, the 3 GB switch doesn't work on my dual-Opteron system.

Anybody have experience or suggestions?

Cheers,

Rob

3 million sounds like way too much. I mean, for shelves and square objects you dont need very high detail. Do you have smoothing modifiers on there? Perhaps a whireframe view of your scene could help a bit. Also, its unfortinant that the 3gb switch isnt working, did you upgrade to winxp service pack 2?
