	You need to be careful in blender, because you can start adding up verticies and faces (the basics of a mesh) VERY quickly if you use subsurf. Keep in mind that BZW maps get very large (file size) at about 20,000 verts. I recommend keeping most maps between 15,000 and 20,000 as a max, because of downloads times, overall map running speed, and of course practicality. There is no point in making very detailed objects, when this can usually be achieved with textures.
