One tip I picked up in my short career as an architectural modeler ... if you cant see a polygon, delete it! Getting rid of the circular end caps doesn't sound like it would help much, but if you have a lot of columns in a scene, it all adds up.

Haha not only for architecture. This must be done for every object in 3D.
My example of "the shaft" (in de gallery) is a good example. Almost every object is less than half. I've deleted all the unseen.
As you say phil, a rule of thumb in 3D is, if it is not seen through the cam, don;t model it.
The UV looks nice John...
Peace,
Rich_Art.

Thx Rich
2 closest columns were textured with a 1 click bodypaint ,that was cool,no distortion,right away good looking.
3rd was photoshopped already to get the loops less obvious.
