Yes, I agree with Simon on this. A simple script that dupes, merges, rename's and poly reduces would probably do the trick

Would that be enough?

I'm doing something similar by duplicating by meshes, join some of them together, and then apply the polygon reduction tool in order to have a low poly mesh of the object I would like to make a quicker way to create low poly meshes, maybe by creating a compound that can be shared among the high poly meshes ( or applied to a group of meshes ), and if possible be able to rename the created low poly mesh with a suffix named "UCX_" ( which renamer do you suggest to batch rename meshes?) I haven't tried yet to build geometry in ICE, so I was wondering if something like this can be done quickly in ICE Cheers -- www.matinai.com
