Which polygon reducer do you recommend for 3ds-files?

Hi,

For a large scale conversion of 3ds-models to .gsm, which polygon reducer would you recommend?

MooTools Polygon Cruncher perhaps?

Cheers,
Mats

I tried Polygon cruncher, but I did not find it way better from the polygon reducer modifier in C4D, If You have C4D license I would suggest trying it first...if not Polygon cruncher is quite a good choice for mesh reducing - if I remember correct it does have in one bundle some tool for quick UV mapping correcting as well.

Best Regards,
Piotr

I've used "Rational Reducer" by far the best there is except for the price
I recall we paid $5000US! Can't seem to find who sells it no but seems to be available as a demo.

Thanks all. I forgot to mention that it's Solid Works that's producing the models. Furniture producer using Solid Works and ArchiCAD. There are a few and that's the workflow I'd like to investigate further.
