Optimizing High Polygons

This guide is written based on Zbrush.

Optimizing topology mesh

Before exporting the completed high-polygon mesh, if there are too many polygons, the file can be heavy to work with topology (varies depending on computer specifications).

In such cases, it's good to reduce the Decimation or Dividing before exporting.

For this clothing, it can be seen that there are about 2 million polygons (approximately 4 million based on Tri).

If the subdivide level is still active, you can lower the level and export, or if it's not, you can optimize with Decimation before exporting.

Polygon count is defined by Tri. For example, Poly: 2000 = Tri: 4000.

Export by lowering Subdivision Level

For this clothing, the subdivide level goes up to 3, and you lower it to 1 and export after deleting the higher levels.

If the subdivision levels are well divided, it's convenient to use as a low-polygon mesh.

Export with Decimation

1. Z plugin

2. Select Preprocessing

3. Choose the optimization ratio in Decimate.

1. Results of proceeding with the Decimation value set to 20% (default setting).

You can maintain the silhouette while getting an optimized high-polygon.
