Then perhaps you created it in a manner that isn't compatible with the exporter?

It's not just the number of polygons that matters. The mesh has to be unfoldable into a perfect rectangle. If you used extrusions or other common poly-modeling techniques that add or subtract geometry, you'll break that perfect topology. Remember, sculpties are origami. Each one is just a flat rectangle that's been bent and folded in 3D space. You can manipulate the parts of the rectangle any way you want, but you can't add or subtract anything to or from it.
