Mesh Simplification

There’s a tool we offer as part of the Advanced Geometry Processing add-on called Mesh Simplification. It allows lowering the density of the original mesh by collapsing edges, preserving the major geometrical features of the mesh. It reduces the triangle count of the polygonal representation while maintaining the visual appearance. This process is also known as mesh decimation.

Note: this tool only works on the triangle sets and ignores the rest of the polygonal shapes (polylines and polypoints).

For more detailed information please refer to Mesh Decimation article in our documentation.
