Hi guys, I'm an occasional Carrara user and I do all my modelling in Rhino. One of the things that is holding me up is the size that models get when I export from Rhino. This can make models impractical for use in other apps. We had a tutorial posted recently on modelling clothes for Poser. At the end there was this suggestion: "I like to take my .obj mesh into Carrara and use a detriangulate polys routine. This can knock the final file size down from 1/3 to 1/2 the size. Also, Poser plays better with meshes which have fewer triangular polygons." I was wondering if anybody had come across this and could shed a little light? Any help very welcome, thanks in advance, Smallworld.
