So i got those but it's just insane.
I don't have them in the vue format unfortunately.

A pinetree with --=quarter a million polys=-  which i only sometimes can get to it's minimum polygons which is 25000 polygons.

I got flowers reduced to minimum 20000 polygons.

Cheez i don't want it on the microscopic level.

Someone got an idea how to decimate them rightly?

try this

Thank you.

But I'm not going to pay anything just so I can have my trees at a reasonable polygon level.

Vue handles them quite well.Even in ecosystems.

I'm telling ya, 300k polygons per model!!! And 100s of them. My PC is so brave.

I currently have em only in .3ds.

It's strange because few days ago i could decimate them easily to 20k...

Maybe try this....near the bottom there is a bar than can be adjusted that will decrease the polygon level...however, it will decrease some of the detail as well....it's a grey bar at the bottom, and to the right it says POLYS.....perhaps that will help....

Thx but I really only want trees with a couple of thousand polys.

I don't know why it doesn't work now just 2 days ago I could easily poly em down to 20k...

what is wrong with Vue's integrated mesh decimator?

I really can't go for every single population into another program and decimate and export again.

20k for a sunflower is fairly top border! lol

The Xfrog billboards look ok, you might want to try those.

Does Vue have a LOD to handle such massive polycount trees?

The real question is wether your gfx card can handle it or not lol.

on my 8800gtx the preview is stuttering like nuts.

And when a tree in 640x480 takes on 30min of rendering time in preview mode then something's wrong lol.

Strange - I don't have many problems with the VOB version of XFrog trees although I don't use them that often

XPleet,I do not think your long render times are in the polys so much as the shadows themselves.I have an 8800GTS with 640 onboard and 2G DDR2 with core 2 DUO and they load fine,but the render times are slower due to the shadows in the complexity of the leaves,expecially with conifers.
