Bram,
I use Decimator from www.geomagic.com It works well, but it does not
preserve textures or any file structure. If you would like, send me a file in
OBJ, DXF, or 3DS, and I will show you the results.

> I require polygon reduction functionality for my performer apps.
> I have a 400K-vertex model that I want to reduce by a factor 5 or so.
>
> Currently, I am evaluating OpenInventor version 2.5
> OpenInventor was acquired from sgi by tgs, and tgs is now marketing
> this product.
>
> However, the results I get with OpenInventor2.5 are not satisfactory.
> E.g: OpenInventor2.5's reorganisation (with ivfix e.g.) messes up my models.
> The old ivfix from sgi's 2.1 version does not have this fault.
>
> What do other performer developers use for their polygon reduction tasks?
> (and stripifying tasks?)
