I have a 3D MAX mesh that I want to use in an animation (in Vue). The mesh has an incredibly high polycount. I have a polygon reducer that can reduce the polygons, but that also reduces the details. Is there a way, in any program or utility, to untriangulate a 3D Max mesh. In other words, to turn the triangles into four cornered polygons. Any other suggestions if this is not possible. I could manually do this, but with a few hundred thousand polygons, I wish there was an easier way.
