Award-winning polygon reduction tool

SIM Rational Reducer is an award-winning tool for optimizing 3D polygon models, while preserving visual quality. SIM Rational Reducer is used in work processes related to simulation, real-time visualization, and distribution. SIM Rational Reducer is typically used to reduce the polygon count by 70-95%. This process is fully automatic. Within minutes you can achieve results that would have taken you days of manual work.

SIM Rational Reducer optimizes 3D models by removing the polygons that contribute the least to the total visual impression of the models. This ensures that polygons are used where they are most needed to preserve the shape and visual quality of the original model.

SIM Rational Reducer is available as a stand-alone GUI tool for Microsoft Windows and SGI IRIX and as an SDK. The SDK allows you to build the power of SIM Rational Reducer into your own application.
