      wowwwww Whaat... you are incredible! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

      can it reduce the polygon count of a hi-poly mesh (work in reverse) too?

      I think this would be good feature too, if do not consider it too difficult to implement.

        I don't understand this workflow. How do you create your high-poly models in the first place? If you are creating them with software other than SU, it only makes sense to use the same software to reduce the poly-count prior to bringing the model into SU. I am sure Max and Blender can both do this.

        Some free models, for example 3d scanned ones, do have really high poly-count. I can imagine using some of those in SU, but after some scale down.

          What about components made of 1/4 parts, like this glass. Object has parts that are not wanted to subdivide and also open edges of sub-components needs to be left without subdivision. Glass_sub.jpg

            Since so many people are asking for this poly-reduction feature ๐Ÿ˜ฒ , I will try to create a plugin to do this. However, this will not be until after the subdivision plugin is released.

            I have no idea when I will release it. There's LOTS of work left before I would be comfortable releasing it.

              What about a "non destructive" subdivision?
              Meaning: the possibility to go back to a lower subdivision for further modelling.
              Then go back to the higher subdivision for rendering.

                  oh no... sub-object modeling in SU like in VIZ... ๐Ÿ˜ฒ ... too complex for my little brain to handle...

                  just kidding! I would like that too, but let's let him get this thing done first, shall we?! We don't want to sound ungrateful... ๐Ÿ˜„
