[edit] Decimator

• Ratio: - The percentage of Triangles to reduce to.

The Decimate Modifier is a quick and easy way of reducing the polygon count of a mesh non-destructively. This modifier demonstrates of the advantages of a mesh modifier system because it shows how an operation, which is normally permanent and destroys original mesh data, can be done interactively and safely using a modifier.

Unlike the majority of existing modifiers, the Decimate Modifier does not allow you to visualize your changes in edit mode.

The "Face Count:" field shows the number faces as a result of applying the Decimate Modifier.
