True, but culling sometimes depends on the application.
I wanted no pop-up in shell at all (I managed that 99.9% of
the time -
naturally the few errors I missed annoy the hell out of
me!), but could
never have the game running without culling of some
description - the game
world plus the other required models is around 35k
polygons.
I think I mentioned in a previous post though that that
process was too time
/ labour intensive and I'm seeking to do a bigger area, with
lower polygon
density and let Director have more of a hand in what gets
culled this time
around.

I'll definately be bearing this stuff in mind in future,
cheers guys for
reminding me there's still plenty to learn
