Reduces the number of polygons in a model while attempting to preserve its shape as much as possible.

It is an easy way to clean-up geometry while maintaining its quality and making it faster to render.

Using PolyReduce

  1. Select the object whose polygons you want to reduce.

  2. Click the PolyReduce tool on the Polygon tab.

  3. Select the crease edges, if any, and press Enter when finished.

  4. Reduce the polygons by a percentage of the initial amount, number of polygons, or according to distance from a camera in the parameter editor.

Note

This tool requires a triangular mesh, which may increase the initial polygon count.

For specific parameter help see the PolyReduce node help.
