TurboReduce

I have a question. I am looking for something like "Reduce" in Maya, that is much better than "Optimize" or "ProOptimize" in Max, because it keeps the loops and quads, and the good topology.
This script only works with meshes after turbosmooth. But if is a different mesh or with variations, doesn´t work. At least for me for many objects.
Do you know any script for Max to do Reduce like in Maya? Thanks in advance!

I have received an email and script

it is useful
thanks

but I cant find the link to download

please check your paypal

my paypal name is zhan.deyu@yahoo.com

I'm thinking about selling this script with its new restore to original shape feature for 5$. Would somebody willing to buy it?

now I use 3dmax 2009, when used, it is error "NumericVertex. please help me.Thanks

It just works in max 2011 and 2012, sorry.

Thanks for the script, but I get an error in max 2010 sp1 x64: -- Unknown property: "NumericVertex" in undefined

Then viewport becomes unresponsive and 3dsmax has to be restarted.

edit: I also had to restart 3dsmax in order to get the "obliviboy" panel to show in the customize menu, both in max 2k10 and 2k11.

@evilmpire It seams that ribbon functions don't work in 2010 even thought It has the ribbon. Well then it just works in 2011 and 2012. The category didn't appeared because the mzp file just copied the macro and then didn't run it, I need to investigate why.

And now to the big annoucement, everybody wanted this feature, and now you have it, well not right now, later, it is still in development. See the sneak peak bellow.

Thanks berdinatilli for reporting that bug. It was just duplicated line of code in the script, fixed now in 1.33.

1.33
->Fixed bug "empty mesh"

thank you obliviboy for the icon.

but unfortunately 1.32 seams to have now a problem, i was testing every version since 1.2 that way:
by creating a box, applying turbo-smooth with some interations and finally collapsing it to poly for applying you script, now it creates an non-existent object.

btw, i tested it in max2011 & 2012 64bit

@berdinatilli Yeah the smart clone is great, also thanks for the suggestion, I added now an icon

Here is the changelog for the last two versions:

1.32
->Added an icon
->Added ability to TurboReduce a simple plane

1.31
->Added the SmartClone function

i liked what you did in v1.31

only think i would suggest, is to make a icon instead of the text for the toolbar.

WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! A big thanks obliviboy to this great script :) :) One point to you ;)

tnk for your work sir.
is it possible for max 2008 please?

right now it is not possible because I'm using some of the ribbon function which are in max 2010-11-12

I will have to rewrite them myself for it to work in 2008.

"obliviboy:

ok.
thanks for your reply sir.

It runs 2 times faster in comparison to 1.2.

Also I removed progress bar and the UI because they are now unnecessary.
