I'm experimenting with Houdini poly reduce, it does a good job on the mesh but the resulting uv's are terrible. I'm also trying to transfer uv's after poly reduction using an attribute transfer but results are not good at all. Anyone knows what is the best workflow to achieve a good poly reduction keeping good uv's too ?

Thank you

Ray

This is something we will be addressing very soon – not as a quick bug fix: as a game changer.

What is that, a paraceratherium?

Magnus I really appreciate your help but it's a bit complicated for me, I have to study the graph to understand how to apply your setup to the model

Sounds great. Is this already launched as part of H16 or something to come?
