THANKS! I really appreciate the time you took to write out such detailed instructions. Last night I did something similar to what you wrote, but I used Hexagon (already had it installed). It worked on the polys, but blew the UVs away and I couldn't really get any textures to work well after that. I'll read the references you sent me and see if Blender can work for me.I believe Blender (free) can decimate while keeping the UVs (so you don't have to deal with fixing textures/materials).
My approach was different in that I duplicated the cr2 file, renamed it and then edited it in Notepad++ to reference the newly created low-res copy of the OBJ file. This approach allowed me to experiment without mucking up the older versions of the file and prop. As I noted in a post above, though, the UVs were blown away and I wound up trying other approaches to simplify the scene.
Dang those trees!
If I cannot get this to work, I'm going to give the Blender method a shot.
Thank you again VERY MUCH!
