| May 31, 2016 at 22:14 | comment | added | Acctingman | Not looking to animate anything. I just want a 3d looking model sitting on a clickable base (like in the Steam link I provided). I'm not sure what will be easier for me to take on.....making a 2d image as 3d as I can, or reducing the polycount on existing 3d models (the Steam game I'm using cannot take large polycount models)....thanks R00t | |

Instead of reducing the poly count you could just learn how to retopologize the high poly mesh, especially if you will texture/rig and animate it later. | |
