Qemloss3 is a GREAT utility for reducing the mesh density of models. It's a lightwave free plug in. The author has made the lastest version "show off" ware. Basically, send him something of what you are working on, so he can learn from it. (it can be an image, a 3d mesh, whatever), and he'll email it to you. Qemloss has been around for many years now, and works differently from lightwave's native built in mesh reducing utility. What's nice about it, if you can adjust a % slider, and it will show you the target polycount before it does it's mojo. (BTW it's always a good idea o "merge points" first.)

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
