Photoshop :: CS6 / Reducing Poly-count Of 3D Models?
Sep 12, 2013
I'm using CS6 (x64, windows), and I'm extruding vectors by a few points to make 3D models of decorative walls for our modelers. They've constantly told me that there are far too many polygons in the models that Photoshop generates (mine are averaging between 20,000 and 30,000) and that even 3DS Max's "optimize" tool can't take it down to a really managable number (generally they only get them down to around 10,000).
Â
Is there a way to reduce the number of polygons in models generated this way in Photoshop? Even the super simple ones that I extrude (with no curves at all) end up containing around 8,000 or 9,000.

I have a demo reel and I want to list my poly count next to my models. maya calculates triangles and faces(which to me are polys also). so should I say poly count: (#of triangles) or poly count: (#of faces). which is the employer more interested in (specifically in the gaming world).

Really big scene. 17 Million polys. First of all...17 million is not displaying correctly. (See image) There is an extra digit at the end.Second, when I select an object, (since 17 million takes up so many spaces) I can't properly read the poly count on my selected object.
Â
Any way to change the spacing or size of the font?

I activated the Poly Count from the Display Menu; but it shows the components that are in the view at the moment. I'd like to know instead if there is a way to display the number of the components selected.

how can i reduce the poly count of a static mesh I made. I am attaching a screen shot of it. Rather than re-modelling the mesh or re-topologizing what can i do to reduce the poly count??

I've been trying out making an alien character in mudbox.
When I have textured a multi tile uv layout for the character and saved, I come back the next day to work on the file and the UV's look like the attached file - the image for uv 0,2 is the same as for 0,1 and 0,3, the tiling worked fine while I was painting though. Is this a bug or is it something I'm doing/incorrect setup/etc. I'm using the standard install with its default settings.
I would like to have a model with a high poly count to work on, my model is 2mil polys at the moment, if I try to divide to 8 mil the app really slows down, Is there a way to get mudbox to handle more polys smoothly, I'm running 64bit Mudbox 2013 with 6gig of RAM and a 1Gig video card (ATI Radeon HD 5700). In an ideal world I'd like to go to 32 mil polys to take advantage of the 4k maps I'll be outputting - am I aiming too high with this spec? I'd like to get some nice close ups of this char and render out at 1080p if possible

I am attempting to reduce the poly count of a 3D model using the Batch ProOptimizer utility. However, the tool uses Predefined 'Vertex' % and not Predefined Polygon %. I need to reduce the polygon count by 60% 40% and 18%. /how this could be achieved?

I have a mesh that is made up of all quads and is a pretty dense object. I need to reduce the number of faces so can make it easier to work with and edit.
Whenever i use the reduce tool it takes my mesh that is all quads and distorts it to create a mesh that looks like the second picture above. How can i reduce my face or poly count without distorting my mesh so badly and keep only quads.

My model is ready for the rigging. But my model is a little heavy in poly-count. I can rig it now but at the time of animation i know it will be a problem while animating it. It will lag while moving its controls. I have seen people animating with low mesh and while rendering they use high mesh. Do, i have to create a low poly version of my model?. If yes, Then i have to paint weight twice. low poly one and the high poly one.

We are looking for a workflow example of developing casting models into machining models.
Typically our castings are made from different materials (Fig-1) and then machining (Fig-2) are created from these castings.
Is creating the casting as an iPart (with different materials) and then deriving the machining from the casting the proper method?
Doing it this way seems to force us into making a machining for each casting material instead of just one machining that is an iPart. How should this be set-up for BOM purposes and for use with Vault (Base Version)?

The issue I'm having involves setting the number of copies to print in Photoshop's print dialog. Most applications I've worked with will set the dm Copies of the DEVMODE to this value and send a single page to be printed. Photoshop, however, is setting dm Copies to "1" (even if the default DEVMODE provide by my driver has dmCopies set to another value) and sending several identical pages to the driver. Obviously this can slow down printing dramatically when the copy count is in the hundreds.
Â
I've observed the same behavior from Photoshop when printing with 3rd party drivers, so it doesn't seem isolated to the drivers I maintain.
My question is, does Photoshop always send multiple copies of an image as individual pages, or is it trying to set the copy count through an interface I don't support? If it is using a different interface to set the copy count what interface is it using?

How to get count of path anchor points? I'm pathing right now pearl necklace with very diferent colors and some are almost transparent so i didn't know how to use any masking trick on it. So i'm pathing, pathing and pathing one more time. And after 1+ hour start to wondering is there any way to know how many path points i'd made?

Lets say I have a B&W all text document in PDF form and I want to know what percentage of the document is taken up by text (lets say I was trying to figure out how many pages I could get out of an ink cartridge based on the page yield at 15% coverage). My first thought is to drop it in photoshop rasterized at 400dpi or so, and use the magic wand or cntrl-click the layer to select all the text and open up the expanded histogram palette and read off how many pixels are selected then divide by the total number of pixels in the document to get a percentage of coverage.
This does not work however... the pixel count shows a low number (7000 pixels or so) that obviously isn't right but when I take the magic wand and start selecting character by character the pixel count quickly climbs past the original low number so obviously something isn't right.

For a website, my avatar must be less than 100px square and less than 30k of page weight. I'm having a terrible time doing this without the photo being a blurry mess once uploaded. The first two photos are relatively heavy because they've been edited, so I thought I'd try a photo that hasn't been messed with. I notice that even that photo, at 72ppi and 100px is still over 100k in weight. It will probably also be a mess

I have a .bmp file that is 20mb that I want to size down for ease of use with SketchUp.
The file is 3223x2200 pix
96 pix/inch
How would I do this without the image distorting radically?
I have only tried to resize the image by changing the width/height.

I've been working on some pictures that will be printed on T-shirts. The problem is that I've got alot of different color in the pictures which would result in a very expensive print. What I would want to be able to do is to reduce the colors in the pictures to only 4 specific colors (plus black and white). The colors must be very specific. for an example: "ff2600". To be totally clear: I need the ALL the different types of yellow into be transformed to just one type of yellow. So my question is am I able to do something like this in photoshop?

i'm just learning some basic 2d (i work mainly in 3d) and am in the middle of reducing/cropping some of my images so that they fit neatly on a web page. i have a couple of questions:
1. when i reduce (resample) an image, in the resample dialogue there is no easy way to just reduce by a given multiplier (e.g. 0.5) and at the same time, see what the resulting size will be.
for example - i have an image that is 2592*1944 pixels. i would like to be able to enter a multiplier and see what the resulting resolution would be /before/ i commit to the new size. this is possible in a very old version of corel photopaint that i have and so my first question is can this be done in photoshop or do i have to resize elsewhere?

I have a cybershot and have it set to 1280 x 960...Fine. The pictures look great but sometimes when I upload to walmart or shutterfly them become pixelated. Or when I use irfanview (PC only program) to resize to something smaller and pixelates them as well.
Should I change the camera settings, if so, to what? Should I use PS to resize them?

I want to reduce the colour levels in a picture to four, or limit the amount colours of an image to 4 colours.
I have many black and white images and I want to remove all but 4 scales of colour so that I have
White
Light Grey
Dark Grey
Black
The closest thing I have found is in the filter gallery bu using cut out and reducing the number of levels to 4 the problem is this tends to blurr some of the details as part of the effect whereas I want to maintain the crisp edges of my image so that it just looks flatter
I would also like to know if there is a method to do this and have it somewhat scaleable so I can decide on the range of colours in the current image that would fall into each of the new colour categories so that I can adjust itcase some details are incorporated into say the dark grey layer and they should be black ect?
I'm sure I have seen a very simple feature to reduce the colour range of an image, maybe that was in paint shop pro it was a long time ago.

I've got a 20X20 gif image (72dpi) that I wanted to use as a "logo" on a website. When I post it, however, it expands to an image that is about 1" X 1" and it very pixelated. I've tried converting it to jpg, save for web and just physicially reducing the image to 10X10 etc. and nothing works. It just keeps showing up on the website as a larger pixelated image. What am I doing wrong? I'm just trying to get an image about the size or our emoticons on this site.

I am working on a research project that involves evaluating the relative abundance of various colors in a leaf. The leaves that I am working with have three distinct sections of color (green, burgundy, and coral).
I have scanned images of the leaf samples on a flat bed scanner (all with the same quality) and am using the magic wand tool to determine the total pixel count of the leaf and the total pixel count for each individual color. With this data, I determine the relative percent of each color within the leaf. Code:

I have these PDF catalogs which are about 20 - 50MB each. Some of my customers are not comfortable browsing online so a digital catalog (here) works better for them... The same people generally have bad internet connections so I need to re size these PDF's so they can be downloaded rather quickly.
Â
Starting with a 20MB PDF, I open all slides within Photoshop. I batch process the images from 300dpi to 96dpi , and shrink the size from 24 Inches across to 15... All the images are saved in a new folder, opened back in Photoshop and a new PDF is created. Considering both size and dpi has been clipped by a fairly large amount, you would think that the new PDF would be smaller... But its not, the 20MB version ends up around 60MB afterward.
Â
I don't feel like purchasing Acrobat Pro because I know this should work within Photoshop.

I have designed a billboard and used various photos. Due to changes in the positions of the layers, I ended up with a canvas bigger than the photo. So I need to remove the extra canvas. How do I remove the extra canvas?
Â
I can use the marque tool to copy/cut and paste the photo unto a new file, and hence get rid of the extra canvas. If this is the way forward, is there a precise way to get the marquee tool to the edges of the photo? Is there a function to snap the marquee to the edge of the photo?

I have 900 photos/ scans that are all large in size. I know want to make them suitable for a web site ie 72/91dpi and around 1024*768 px in size . thought the save for web choice via an action was the way to go ie create the action and then run as a batch.

My card is ready to go at the specified resolution (300 dpi) and dimensions, but whenever I save it as a pdf, it reduces the resolution immensely. The dimensions of the photoshop file are 1062x615, whereas the pdfs (no compression) are always 254x147. The photoshop file, again, is 300 dpi.
Â
The dimensions in inches for both files: 3.54 x 2.05 Obviously 254 pixels across 3.54 inches is not 300 dpi, but I cant figure out why it would do this.

I have been told that you can reduce the number of pixels in a picture, but keep the size of it.I am unsure about this, so I thought I would ask the experts as it were.I do know the JPEG image compression when saving, but is there any way you can specify the number of pixels?
