Hi,

Would someone please tell me how I could call the blender decimator in my own python
code? I have quite a few 3D models which has really large polygon counts, I would like
to write a python script so I can run it inside blender and redue their complexities.

Thanks a lot.

python doesn’t have access to the decimator

[besides, it’s buggy]

Doh!! Would you know any 3rd party python scripts that does decimation
on blender mesh objects?

Thanks a lot!!
