3D Content Interoperability with Topology-Free Modeling

Nvidia

The more polygons that an object has, the more detailed it appears, but high numbers of polygons demand more computing power. The polygon layout, or topology, of these items must be planned efficiently and created in advance to minimize the number of polygons and generate objects of the highest grade.

PreMortem.Games

Now that I’m working with a publisher that has a strong interest in seeing indie devs like me succeed, I talk through some things with them and share alpha builds, screenshots etc. It made sense to me that lower polygon models and mostly solid color textures would make things easier when the time comes to tackle optimization.

The polygon reduction object from Cinema4D does not reduce the polygon count effectively. So, I started to remodel some meshes in Cinema4D, my prefered 3D modelling software.   And it has just twelve vertices.
