Reducing polygons.

 4500 Polys. Hello, I need to know if it is possible to improve this. The automobile initially has 28 thousand polygons, but I have used a differential of polygons and in the engine it stays this way. 28.000 Polys.  |

| Automatically, I don't know, but i could reduce that model to around 4000 polys, with some work. Seems like the function you've used to reduce the polygons, is detecting the edges and trying to round them. There are so many factors in reducing polygon count, an automatic solution, in my experience, doesn't work very well at all. It usually ends up detroying the detail you want to keep, and leaving the parts you don't... |

| if you have 3dsmax you could try using a multires modifier on it and reduct the polycount. Or find a really good LOD function. |

| I think this should have been in General help. As Ross C says automatic poly reduction solutions don't work very well. You could use a combination of automatic and manual methods or if you use modelling software that supports a snap to point/poly/edge function. Then you could do another model using the topology of the original. Of course you would then have to redo the UV's. |

| I generally hand remove polys from models to make LOD versions. I just load them up in Deep Exploration and delete them. |

| Puki, Deep Exploration looks interesting. What version do you use? How is it easier to deal with individual verts in Deep Exploration than, say, Blender? (Or is DE just the one that you happen to use...) -Pete |
