If everything (every object) is connected (touching), then you could use Boolean addition to bind everything together; then save as one object. Also, before you combine the objects, try to delete any faces that will be hidden; this will lessen the poly count.

Before you save, move the entire object up and down in the modeler to be sure everything is included in the object.

The objects do not have to be connected. You can add them with boolean even when they are not touching each other.

In Gamespace/Truespace I always get an error messege when I perform this function, until I make sure the objects are touching. You don't have this problem using Gamespace/Truespace, Frank?

No molding, just select each object and bind them together by clicking; make sure you save everything first, as the undo function is a bit "tempermental".

No, I did not have this problem. But might be that some kind of bounding boxes did touch each other when I did this operation. But I often glued some objects without touching faces. That helps sometimes alot, because the boolean operation created often very strange meshes with much more polygons as needed.

But now I use Gamespace very seldom. I had simply too much trouble with it (animation, undo and crashes). But I liked the speed of modelling.

Use the connect command thingy, join everything then export as a .x file and make sure that you tick the binary box (or some sort of box you can tick when exporting) thats how I used to do it in TrueSpace, should apply to gamespace too

Yeah, boolean operations do some fruity things at times. I'll have to take a few objects, and boolean add one set...then glue the other set and see what happens. I have to agree on all the bugs and crashes (especially the Undo command).
