500 000 polys for a base mesh is a bit high.

Although I assume you are trying to side step disp by using a high rez model plus normal map.

you should reduce it down, then try again.

btw to keep your options open leverage subdivisions to your advantage and start with a lo rez base mesh.

From what i can glean zmapper works fine with a mesh under 100 000 but even better under 30 000...depend s on your hardware...

Of course you can bypass the zmapper warning and continue.

hope this helps
