Great program i wish they would release it as a standalone rather than uploading downloading lol

[StarFire]

Just given it a try and it does what it says on the tin lol Good polly reduction and it is free!
I think with an hour per month you will be able to get lots of models as it only takes a few seconds to convert.

The cloud uses a desktop application to do the work which is then uploaded to process. Time will tel,l but once I get some usable results we will post it. Hope the workflow will work with animated characters so we can reduce the poser meshes

Think i will stick with my cruncher but it is great for free as you said

or Meshlab thats free and good also

Meshlab look a bit old, Cruncher looks great but is only in unity from what I can see

[TattieBoJangle]

yea not sure why it says that i will do a video for you guys to see how it does a model pack in seconds and also makes lods out of a single mesh

[TattieBoJangle]

Ok as you can see it batch converts a model pack lowers the poly and also makes lod stages you can set it to however many stages you want

that seems quite powerful Shame it has no visual checking though.

[TattieBoJangle]

it does if you do one at a time that was just batch

[SolarPortal]

oh right, definitely a tool worth looking at.
On the website, what it promotes that it does seems very good, especially keeping the original shape to the best it can.

[TattieBoJangle]

yea it does it well there are loads of options this was just a quick show

[StarFire]

Ah this is why we are a bit confused with the cruncher being unity, its the rong stie link you gave us lol

it should have been got this fropm your video
