Geez Dale-- prolific is the word which comes to mind. Great stuff!

Hi Dale, Well done! This will be a very useful plug-in.

Just a thought! Most of the time when I use a poly reducer
program, its because the model is so large that I have trouble
bringing it into SU in the first place.

Ah good point Mike

I dreamt about a poly reducer that reduced by a slider, like an undo - redo function.
So I can place high poly objects into my scene, reduce them for the workflow and redo it by fixed renderscene - instead of replacing ....but it's just a dream

Hi Dale (Whaat),

I love this idea of a SU polyreducer.

Some thoughts about this from a user perspective:

Is it possible to have the plugin both as a standalone as being an add-on to Subsmooth?
That would reduce the amount of plugins in my menus...
It would be great if the polyreducer could be combined with a proxy/instancing system so the low poly version can be used as proxy for high poly components.(The one in skindigo is a great start for that..). I am not sure if it is possible to make a 'universal renderable' proxy/instancing system no matter which render engine is used.
It would be great if we could 'context click' (=right click) to use the commands of your plugins. I kind of miss this in the subsmooth plugin. (I know I can assign a key to a command but still...)

Cheers and good luck with the plugin. Looking good so far.

Kwistenbiebel.

Looks interesting. What about keeping UVs for correct texturing?

I can maintain material assignment but I don't think it will be possible to keep the UVs looking right. We'll see...

Looks like a great plugin This is better than remodeling a low polygon version of a model ive made. I will have many uses for this.

You could make it an addition to subdivde and smooth. That would be really good.

Sure...but then you'd have to purchase subD and smooth twice if you already had it...

If you want the plugin for free, start a new one yourself and make it free. Whaat has all the right to be paid if he wants. Not everybody will buy it, like me, but I see it right.

By the way, I remember saying this plugin would be very usefull for me, in fact I suggested Whaat to make it, but I am not going to buy it as everything I do untill now is for free, with free tools. But that is my problem, I would NEVER complaint. In fact I must congratulate Whaat for his work. And I hope he sells a lot.

But is there a chance that plug-in is integrated into subD and smooth ?
In this case I'll wait before purchasing it

Excellent and usefull plug-in, Whaat !! Great work ! Thank you...
Agree with mariocha !! Can't wait !!
