Hey! How’s it going! Just modelled, rigged, skinned and was about to animate a character and just needed to know how to “dumb down” the polygons, there’s too many. Just wanted to know if there was way to reduce the complexity of shapes by “dumbing” them down to reduce file size and free up some ram.
