Decimate keeping UVset and textures ?

[Carlosan]

Hi

Its possible ?

i have done a 55K faces model, with UVset and textures

Now... I need the same model with 18K faces.

Im merging without voxelizing at Voxel room... and Decimate the model 66%,

its looks ok... but after the process the UVset and textures are lost

Is there any way to decimate a model keeping UVset and textures ?

cant find the way

ty in advance and regards

I'm relatively new to 3D Coat, but I know you can save both your UV set and your textures. Can you not just load them back in? I suppose the UV set might be an issue, as it's based on your new topology...but it depends on how the decimation is done. I would think that if this is a problem, redoing the UV set shouldn't be too hard. It's one of the easiest programs I've found for UV work.

Ty alvordr:

I cant find the way... so opened a Mantis Feature Request

Feel free to add a +1

0000830: Export model - add Reduction Tool Option preserving the UVset

When you export the model from Voxel room, there is a windows popup:

The Reduction Tool allows you to reduce the polycount before export to obj.

But at Paint Room... export model only have 2 Export Resolution options:

Export low-poly mesh

Export mid-poly mesh

Its possible to add a 3rd option:

The Reduction Tool

So we dont worry if we paint a high dense mesh... always we can decimate the final model at export.

------------------------------------------------------------

But please is very important

- To preserve the UVset.

The edges marked as seams cant be altered/moved.

- To bake the paint layers from high dense mesh to the new decimated low mesh.

- An option to triangulate/quadrangulate the model before export to obj.

TY !!
