I have a 3D model with 5000 polygons. I need to reduce the number of polygons to 2500. I've found an application that can help me (VizUp Reducer, http://vizup-reducer.software.informer.com ), but, in my opinion, the price is too high for a program with so limited feature set. Can anybody suggest another solution for me? Thanks.

Hey, VizUp goes as a CAD-like program! Have you ever looked up the prices for any CAD programs? The 149 bucks they want for VizUp Reducer are a real bargain in comparison with 1.200 dollars for AutoCAD.
So, if VIzUp is shareware, I don't see any problem in using it for the purpose you've described in your question.

Actually, I don't use AutoCAD at all and I'm not really interested in it.

And I certainly have tried the trial version of VizUp. The point is you cannot save changes made to the model.

And what the reason to use it if you can`t save your changes? =)

You can try http://www.nanocad.ru/ It`s russian website with free- and lowcost-CAD programs. I hope you can find something for you there, and if you are weak in russian or don`t know it at all - search in the google "NANOCAD". 100% you` ll find something for you.

 

Good luck!
