Question:

If you make your objects one sided whenever possible.... does that actually lower the number of polys as reported by Model info? I think it does for animation/drawing purposes in some game systems. If they're left 2-sided it doubles the effective poly count. So, you quickly get in the habit of only leaving objects 2-sided that need to be seen from both sides (like glass panes, cockpit struts and stucture, etc.)
