   3DSMax - Level-Of-Detail problem
  HelloIm using "3dsmax 8" to create objects for my small 3D-game and I have some LOD problems.My object: "Create -> AEC Objects -> Foliage" and then "Generic Oak".If I then convert the tree to an "Editable Mesh" and then choose "Optimize" under "Modifier List", the tree consists of 25617 vertices and 25827 faces.How do I decrease these two values?I kind of want 500, 2000 vertices etc. 25000 vertices is no good at for instance 15x15 pixels. :|Kind Regards   
  Sounds like you are using a plugin which makes high polygon trees? If so, there's not a whole lot thats worth doing.Find a plugin specificaly for making trees for game assets and you'll fine.   ;  You're not going to get much satisfaction using Max's Optimize command on anything, especially something with alot of small limbs such as trees.Also, max has a help file, just search for "Optimize" to learn how to use it... unless you got the pirated version without it?   ;  HiI found a "MultiRes" modifier that does the job.Using that modifier you can enter maximum number of vertixes.And no, I'm not using a pirate version.Im using the Trial 30 days version (help included). And 30 days suites me perfectly.
