  Polygon count

  Posted by Jason Stirret on June 11, 2011 at 10:15 pm

  Is there a polygon counter within C4D? One more question…have an object with mucho polygons, how can I reduce the count (poly reduction) without loosing the objects form? I have tried polygon reduction, and yes its works to a point, but you reach a threshold where it starts to warp and randomize the original shape. Is there another method or am I to suffice with poly reduction?

  Thanks allot!

  Right Click on the object in the Object Manager and click on OBJECT information that is your poly count.

  As for reduction I generally do it by hand welding and moving points…. or in more cases than not I remodel using the first as a guide.

  As for using the poly reduction you can current state object command and start over sometime you get a little closer but I cannot really say its worth the effort.
