    Hi all

    I've been looking around for a plugin that can take a complex 3d object and reduce it into blocks of cubes (or x y z size (resolution) (pretty much like lego). The idea is to convert an organic design into small cubes to join up edges point to point while maintaining the minimal amount of triangles. Think of it as reducing the pixels of an image but in 3d.

    Does anyone know the best way to do this or a plugin that can achieve this quickly.

    I have a 3d scan of a real world object which consists of 2.8 million polys. With the lego idea it would allow a neater poly reducer.

    If anyone knows of a way to do this fast. Please let me know. If there is a plugin dev here it would be one really good tool for simplifying organic shapes into low level triangles.
