Poly Counter is a small, straightforward script for 3ds Max that counts polygons across more than one selected object at a time. It comes from Chuggnut and keeps the workflow deliberately minimal.
To use it, select the object or objects you want to count and press the button. The result is displayed in the prompt line. The tool's scope is narrow by design — it handles multiple selected objects and reports their polygon count, without extra panels or configuration to step through.
This entry is version 2.3.5 and is listed here as free. It appears in the scriptspot library under Chuggnut's name. For the current release and any licensing details, the developer's page at chuggnut.com is the place to look for it.
