        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 ?
                                      In this case I'll wait before purchasing it ๐Ÿ˜„

                                      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)

                                            Well? Huh?
