Grimrock

I was curious about the application of the real vertex count of a model, so I asked on the polycount forums and a member there was kind enough to explain various situations to me, and he also gave a method for calculating a mesh's efficiency on a scale of >0 to 3, lower being more efficient, with 3 ...
