You aren't buying it, though. The model still belongs to humster3d; they just give you limited rights to it.

Wast of time to convert one of there models, for one there way to high poly for IV. even if you did it get it converted fully working you could only spawn about 2-3 before the map started to fail & not load.

I've been told models can be done lower-poly..

Depends on the decimation tool... I used MeshLab in the past on certain projects. http://meshlab.sourceforge.net/

From what I've read (from guys that do this professionally) the best way to optimize a model is by hand. It's slow and tedious work, but it ensures that things are done properly. There are tools that can be used and if you're happy with the results then use them. Ultimately you have to decide whether you want to spend the hours optimizing a high poly model, but hey look on the bright side at least there are plenty of tutorials on how to do this.
