render to texutre? that would only work properly if they were mapped first.

Use UV UnWrap modifier. Though it looks like youv' created seperate meshs, so that would be tedious. Rhe model is a good job for a first attmept.

Try giving us a wireframe/ edged faces render aswell, and we'll easily shave off alot of those polies with some help.

I recommend googling for tut's on mapping since its a self explanitory process, but if you get hitched up on something just ask.

Thx lazerus, they are separeted models, each wall is a separete model, cloned from a basic wall and then edited. I will post wireframe renders latter when i can get to my pc.
I have searched for tutorials about 3d mapping, but as they are sepparate models its a pain to uv map them, is there a way to combine them into a single model?
If you can help me it will be great
Good luck guys and thanks for the comments

A simple way is to just convert one to editable poly, then on the right rail click the "attach" button, and just attach all the pieces. Boom, it's one object. As for mapping you probably don't want to UV map the entire level, you want to apply tiling textures to certain polygons. I'm pretty sure you can do this by applying a mesh select modifier, selecting the polygons you want, then add a uv map modifier (not unwrap), align the gizmo how you want so the tiling looks nice, then collapse the whole stack down. Repeat FOREVER.
