Polygon Cruncher reduces the number of polygons of your objects without changing their appearance. You keep all details even at a high optimization ratio. You also keep texture information, vertex colors and user-defined normals. You protect object borders, material boundaries, UVs seams.. You can optimize taking care of the symmetry of your objects.

Polygon Cruncher for Autodesk® 3ds Max® includes 3 different modules:

- A modifier plugin which allows real-time optimization in the 3ds Max viewers. It includes MagicCruncher which provides an automatic optimization process.
It can be interfaced with MaxScript.

- An utility plugin that includes a built-in OpenGL view and gives precise control on the way optimization is performed.
The utility plugin includes a batch process module for your 3ds Max files and generates different LODs for your 3D assets.
It is also a way to import files from a various 3D file formats into 3ds Max

- A StandAlone application for optimizing your 3D assets that come from various file formats (fbx, gltf, sketchup, wavefront, stl, lightwave...).
This module includes batch processing for optimizing a whole folder.
It also includes MagicCruncher which automatically defines the best optimization ratio for your 3D data assets.
Once you have determined the level of simplification you want, generate the normal maps so that the simplified object gives the illusion that it still has all its detail.
With a minimum of manipulation your object and its normal maps are ready to be used in production or can be exported for the web, in GLB format with integrated textures.

Polygon Cruncher uses an exceptional algorithm developed since 10 years, which gives incomparable results, really better than what you can get with the optimizer provided with 3ds Max.

Full Trial period
