    In max it seems each poly carries two tris. Triangle of course containing 3 points a poly containing 4. Max has a poly counter that will count in tris and poly. So you can set the limit to 200. Thats quite a low # though lol. Most char in fps type games exceed 1000.

    Click on utilities (hammer icon) then choose polygon counter. You might have to click the more btn to see it. If I remember correctly I had to add it to the default menu. If its for game they might want it modeled in tri which means you got to model it so.

    Well then just leave the poly counter set to tri (default setting then model away while keeping a eye on the meter. The limit rollers will have the line turn from green toyellow then to red once you pass your limit.
