Lower The Poly Count of Any Model
Reducing the Vertex Count of a model to make it low poly can be done while losing very little detail. Together we can merge vertices, and use remesh and decimate modifiers to lower the poly count of our 3D model and still retain most of the detail and either a smooth or blocky look.
