    Well, there are about 480 3d building models on that side,
    and I checked them, seems like they have not been modded before.
    If most of them worked, it would be a nice resource for modding...

    And the bridges look nice, too!

    I think I found a way to preview pictures. Just got to provided links by kipate copy building name (e.g. Building N180914 - 3D model) then in google image search write archive3d and paste its name.

    ha, yeah that's the problem most free models are high poly.

    How much was the start value?
    20,000 polygons?
    Seems like they are having way too much...

    look at the triangle count of that house block, 43,700.
    a T3 block like that for LOD 1 would need to be around 6000 max. I guess some of the mods may be useful to compare and make your own. or grab and resuse the textures.

    But wasn't there a way to reduce the polygon count
    at least for the house? I mean, it looks like there was some
    kind of interior part, with rooms amd so on.
    One could shut them down and hence reduce the polygon count, not?
    Also, on the site, there was a note on each model whether it was designed
    for exterior or interior visualization... maybe that helps you?

    Everything is possible, but to reduce that poly count would take so much time, that you could make same building from scratch designed for CXL limits.

    So the model you took, was it designed for interior or exterior
    visualization? I am a bit curious that way, I mean, you don't regularly
    find 500 3d models for free :)
    E.g. what about the model of the Building @Nikolskaya Street?
    Would that have a lower count (see first page)...
    And what about the models where the file size was really low?
    I mean, I don't want to put pressure upon you,
    but first of all, you took just 1 building out of 470,
    that may not be that representative, or?
    And well, I don't want to give up that easily :)

    Maybe you guys could find the time to do some
    more random sampling before we take this site as a loss?
    Just asking politely...

    Edit: just saw some models where the file size was about 2.5 MB,
    maybe that indicates for lower polygonal count?

    yeah there might be low poly ones, I guess it just a matter of downloading and trying a few. same with google mods :)

    Well, kipate, I can cheer you up - it meets triangle limits:

    nice you might want to weld some duplicate vertices there :) vertex count should be around third of the triangle count or there abouts.
    Any easy way to that is go to editable poly - vertex, select them all - click the weld settings option, set it to lowest value 0.001 - It should show you the before and after. click weld

    Already did that before (almost immediately): from 9000 to 2000.

    nice :) hopefully it comes with decent textures for you. What type of building would it make, offices, retail or residence?

    Don't get me wrong, I am not going to make this, I just checked poly and triangle counts.
