MAYA : Notes

World count under/around 150K Tris *navmesh included
Use *Lambert shaders
Bevels large edges
Delete non-visible geo & caps on models (hidden surfaces not seen by player)
Simple dynamic forms
Minimal geometry
Asset Diversity : large, medium, and small
Remember instancing is an option- plan ahead (put placeholders)
Use hotkey '3' to get a smoothed preview of meshes, especially if you're doing cleanup. Even if you're not going to smooth it, this lets you see where overlapping/bad geo might be hiding
