Hi,

Sorry, perhaps totally off-topic.  But maybe ...

I have a model with 100,000,000 points.  It's something along the
lines of a molecular model.  The model is computer generated
obviously.

What's the maximum polygon count for Lightwave these days?

Thanks,
Brian

I dont know if Lightwave has a limit on polygons, what I do know is 
100,000,000 is way to much you`ll never going to be able to load/work with 
that many points in lightwave (or any other 3d package 3dsmax, maya for that 
matter)

Theoretically as much as your Machine/RAM can handle but only on 64bit 
system since 32bit systems have 2/3GB limits.

But in practice i doubt you'll be able to load 100 millions points 
object/model in ANY 3D software if is real geometry (not instanced).
