Hi Keith,

I'd think that it would be possible to get things to work well with Carrara. The last time I checked it, it seemed to be capable of importing vertex normals using .obj format.

But I will need a little more information from you in order to try and help you.

Are you using .obj format for the transfer into Carrara, or some other file format type?

It's really still so minimal that it's nothing to worry about. You might start to get worried about polygon density once you are above something like 500,000 of them. At around 50,000 vertices that's really not much to deal with on today's hardware. Maybe 20 years ago it would have been something to sorry about, but by today's standards that's really pretty small still.
