Polygon Reducer

Classic Polygon Reduction modifier.

Properties of Reducer

Criteria

Defines type of criteria of when reducing should stop. Following options are possible:

Fraction of Source Object	Generate a new, reduced object with the number of points equal to the defined percentage of points of the source object.
Number of Points	The new object should have a defined number of points.
Number of Triangles	The new object should have a defined number of triangles.
Maximum Allowed Error	Reduce the object until the distance from the removed point to the surface is still less than a specified value.

The generated object may contain more points or triangles than required if further reduction is not possible because of other reasons, "Max angle" for instance.

Triangles, Error

Criteria itself.

Max angle

Allows limiting maximum angle error, caused by vertex removal. Default value allows almost all angle errors.

Protect Edges

If checked, boudning edges wouldn't be simplified. This option is related to non solid objects.

Keep Normals

Keep original normals.

Enabled

Enable or disable modifier. When disabled, it works like regular group.

UV and per vertex colors are not supported yet.
