biped geometry in w3d?

[cosmiceye]

Hi, Im a noob in character studio. Im making an avatar world, all my character
models are under 300 polygons. But does the geometry of the biped skelleton
include for every clone of my character? A character and a biped geometry gives
me about 800 polygons, and I feel that its a damn waste of geometry for
something that isnt even visible. Please help get an answer to this, if the
biped gemetry is included, I think I change to keyframeplayer or something. I
want to have more than 5 users in the same world at the same time.

Under 300 polys? Now that's low-poly!

No, the Biped's geometry isn't exported with the W3D. To see for yourself
just open up the 3D cast member in Director and look at the poly count at
the bottom.
