3ds file to GDL object

[Anonymous]

How do you reduce the size of the resultant gdl object when converting a 3ds plant file to gdl. One plant seems to create a 10mb file, so a garden would be outrageous

Unfortunately only by reducing polygons, It may be done via 3d model editor (I use Cinema 4d because of fair AC<>C4D connection) - better maually than automatically, but automatic may do good as well.
The other way is to explode the object to morps and edit morphs in AC - to reduce the mesh.
