I'd like to use this as a prop. Leave feedback please.
Street Light
-
looking really nice. whats the poly count?
-
There is a "optimize" modifier in max, but it's useless in most cases.
For reducing polys the "weld" / "target weld" function should be your friends

Im a bit busy. I'll have to try it out later. I'm modeling a Walgreens?
-
2400 is still in teh high end for a street lamp, at least if its for current gen games.

Considering you can make a nice character model with ~3.5k tris, I'd say 2.4 for a street light is excessive
You barely notice the high detail parts ingame anyway, especially when you can't get close to them (the player will never spend much time face to face with the bulb part of the street light, for example). Have a look at some of the valve props and check out the polycounts for ballpark figures, if unsure.

you could use the first one to generate a normal to a lowpoly.
this you should be able to get down to a pretty lowpoly really.
