Well I made one anyway as I was bored with waiting for renders :) worked ok when I tested it on the elephant, the shrink wrap gave dodgy results so I skipped it
You'll want to change the suffix variable at the start, and could tweak the numbers in the polygon reduction http://pastebin.com/Z86YNmLN Simon Reeves London, UK *[email protected] <[email protected]>* *www.simonreeves.com <http://www.simonreeves.com>* *www.analogstudio.co.uk <http://www.analogstudio.co.uk>* On 18 December 2013 11:53, Nicolas Esposito <[email protected]> wrote: > @Simon: Yes, for my purpose that would be enough > > I'll try by best to create a simple script that allows me to do that, and > also adding a shrink wrap which is a good advice ;) > In case I'll bother you guys with some help for the script :D > > Thanks > > > 2013/12/18 Mirko Jankovic <[email protected]> > >> can also even add another shrink wrap on top of it to get reduced mesh >> closer to original one if needed >> >> >> On Wed, Dec 18, 2013 at 12:33 PM, gareth bell <[email protected]>wrote: >> >>> Yes, I agree with Simon on this.
