Optimize 3D models: Atangeo Balancer for Mac

Optimize 3D models: Atangeo Balancer for Mac

Atangeo Balancer, a popular tool to optimize and simplify 3D models,
is now available for Mac OS X.
Its exceptional performance and a novel user interface allow finding
perfect balance between visual appearance and the number of polygons,
quickly and easily. Balancer utilizes a high quality polygon reduction
(aka mesh simplification or decimation) to preserve the visual
appearance of your model. The model features, normals, texture
coordinates, layer boundaries are all honored by Balancer.

Hope you will find Balancer useful.

Hi and welcome and have a look here: http://www.cheetah3d.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6358&highlight=Balancer

I think you should have done a search first, there's already a link on the forum to your stuff. I found the link on another 3D app forum you'd posted to already.

Sorry. I should indeed search your great forum first.

We are just excited to finally release Balancer for Mac.

What would be really nice would be an animation-centric version of this tool which took into account joint-assignments. (E.g. you might not want to merge polygons across a joint.)

Looks pretty neat and (assuming it works well) the price is great. That said, there's a lot of free stuff out there with similar (promised) functionality.

Just used balancer this Morning dropping a model from 48128 polys to 6697 no change in how it looks. Love this software.:icon_thumbup:

Balancer 1.2 is available!
Now you can control face densities for selective reduction rate of
different groups/meshes/sub-meshes. For example, you can set
density of 5 to the head group of your model, to increase the density
of the head vertices roughly 5 times.
