Polygon Cruncher overview

Polygon Cruncher is a plugin for LightWave Modeler V5.x, V6.x, V7.x, V8.x / Inspire 3D, 3DS Max V4.x, V5.x, V6.x, V7.x, V8.x / Autodesk VIZ 4.x and 3D Photo Browser.
It allows you to decrease faces and points number. So, Polygon Cruncher is a plugin which do polygon reduction. This is also called decimation or 3D optimization. 

Polygon Cruncher is really simple to use. It offers you :

• An intelligent reduction of the number of faces : useful faces are removed at last. So you can reduce your model up to 75 % without removing details.
• Optimization is pre-calculated, which allows to optimize the scene in real time.
• You control accurately the number of faces or points you want.
• Polygon Cruncher keeps all UV textures channels information and vertex colors channels information.
• You can apply Polygon Cruncher on one or more objects at the same time, on one materials or several materials. You can work on a faces selection or on an invert faces selection.
• Respect of symmetry for objects that are symmetrical
• You can protect the border of the objects. Polygon Cruncher allows you to protect or to exclude objects borders. So your objects stays connected after optimization process.
• An OpenGl preview which allows you to control optimization results.
• Batch optimization of a set of files. You define clearly the optimization levels you wish for each files.
• Polygon Cruncher is very fast.
