SIM Rational Reducer - 3DS Max Plugin

SIM Rational Reducer is an award-winning tool for optimizing 3D polygon models while preserving visual quality. It is used in work processes related to simulation, real-time visualization, and distribution. SIM Rational Reducer is typically used to reduce the polygon count by 70-95%. This process is fully automatic. Within minutes you can achieve results that would have taken you days of manual work. SIM Rational Reducer Plug-in for 3DS Max integrates the reduction power of SIM Rational Reducer into the workflow of a 3D Studio Max modeller. The Rational Reducer Plug-in for 3DS Max has the following features: Set desired reduction percent or Set target polygon count or Set number of polygons to remove Preserves materials Preserves texture coordinates Preserves smoothing groups Preserves per-vertex coloring Keep outer edges of the model Keep texture boundaries Reduce different objects in the scene to different levels Apply a reduction to a whole object or only a subset of its faces Reduce an animated mesh in each key frame of the animation Use different reduction parameters in different key frames of an animation Get visual feedback on the reduction progress Keep a cache of the reduced mesh to avoid recalculating Supported file-formats: The plug-in interfaces directly with the 3D Studio Max internal object representation. Any 3D model supported by 3D Studio Max can therefore be reduced with the SIM Rational Reducer plug-in.
