Michigan Central Station V2

[jmchristopher]

I have decided to take my high poly Michigan Central station and make it into a low poly, game ready version.

There are about 34 million triangles in this version. I am going to attempt to reduce it to about 500,000. I have already taken a few props and reduced them down a bit:

Reducing the polycount has been easy so far because I had some many extra edges to begin with:

Here is where I am at now:

Hovering around 450k polys right now for everything in the entire station. I still have most of the concourse to go and some of the waiting room.
