My models are one piece so no assembly required (apart from the articulated skeleton) If you did want to make the model in pieces it would be up to the customer to assemble- I don't think Shapeways would do it. You can do a surprising amount of optimization using ZBrush's Decimation Master though- I've often taken models of 20-30 million polygons down to 1 million with very little visible difference.

Hi Poca, Thanks! Your artwork is really good. I use ZBrush for my models too. I'm self taught but my process is basically- Model, Hollow, Paint, Duplicate, ZRemesh the duplicate at a low polycount say 5000, UV map the new mesh, subdivide the new mesh back to a few million polys, project the original model detail onto the duplicate, create a texture map from the polypaint, Decimation Master with keep UVs down to 1 million polys, then 3D Print Export from the ZPlugin Menu. You'll easily find more info about each stage online if you search. It takes a while to master but it's worth it. Good luck!
