it lowers your fps because it takes longer to render the trees on screen, making it look like you go slower.

how much polygons does these trees have each?

I have a model from my card game I'm working at which is 6kb and it has 120 polys
if it's correct to say that your model has 6000polys then, I think it's quite much.
You might try lowering the polygon count and see if you note the quality difference.

Cut down the polies in a model editing proggy. I suggest milkshape so you can just use direct x mesh tools

koolaid, which program do you use for making/editing 3d models?

rpgamer, that 6000 was just a result of my calculation, but I'm not sure if you can calculate it like that...

anyway, it has too much polygons
