Level of detail?

[SnowJim]

Hey!

I am doing a school project(i rom with alot of things in), and the techer have spoken of animating a camera flying around in al the romms that the students have made.

Now, i realy whant to make my things as photo relistic as posible, but this takes alot of pollygons.

I dont realy know what detail level i can lay on, for example, i have made a rug with alot of objects scatter around the surface, in this case i dont know how much scater i could have.

Is there any funktion in 3DMax that i can connect som parameters to and then in the end adjust this parameters so i get more or less details?
