      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.

          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:

            1. 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...

            2. 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.

            3. 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...πŸ˜‰)

            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 πŸ‘ This is better than remodeling a low polygon version of a model ive made. I will have many uses for this. 😍

                        Yeah great work !! Subdivide & Smooth is really a winer.
                        Can't wait to try Polyreducer.
                        euh,... the plugin is not out yet, right?
                        Cause I can't find it.

                              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... πŸ˜‰

                                      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.

                                      Forgive my spanglish...

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

                                        Excellent and usefull plug-in, Whaat !! Great work ! Thank you...

                                          I agree that it would be a good thing to have it within Subsmooth.
                                          There must be a way to make it work, financially as well.
                                          (maybe two versions? one as standalone and one as an upgrade to subsmooth? just an idea)
