Ok, I've been looking at Other Options instead of coughing up
major dollars for 3DS MAX. Lightwave has a good renderer,
comes with all the functionality I could want, but...I can't find
anything that indicates whether or not I have poly-reduction
tools! I need to crank out low-poly models for a DirectX
game, and 3DS MAX does this (but is _SERIOUS_
overkill for the task). Can anyone point me in the direction
of information on the Lightwave modellers ability to merge
faces, make faces coplanar, weld vertices, etc? Short of
buying a copy first to find out if it'll do it, that is...and no,
I'd rather not warez a copy to see if it'll do it. I'm hopeful
someone here can pass on the info...
