Kind of a newbie question: trying to reduce a kitbashed model
Hey all,
I am having some trouble reducing a heavy model I kitbashed. Around 500k polygons. I am attempting to use this in an animation. Hence, I would like to reduce it as much as possible without losing too much detail.What do you suggest? Decimate? Bake it down (tried this but I think I did it improperly), or do I retopo it??
Any help will be much appreciated thanks!

Can’t you just use a proxy, lower poly model for animating with and then use the high detail one at render time?

Hey,
thanks for response. I was thinking about doing that. I was just curious if there was a way to bring the current model down. -
depending on the version of C4D you have the Polygon Reduction Tool might be a way to go

I wish there was some kind of smart poly reduction tool but I always find the automatic ones a bit useless for accurate work. Might have to be manually remodelled. Or maybe try zBrush or something more specialised like that? I don’t use it so I’m not sure.
