        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 ๐Ÿ˜ ....but it's just a dream ๐Ÿ˜ณ

              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...๐Ÿ˜‰)

              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 ๐Ÿ‘ This is better than remodeling a low polygon version of a model ive made. I will have many uses for this. ๐Ÿ˜

                          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. ๐Ÿ˜Ž

                                  Sure...but then you'd have to purchase subD and smooth twice if you already had it... ๐Ÿ˜‰

                                        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 ?

                                            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)
