 +In edit mode (1), select Surface (2), then Tris to Quads (3). To ensure that all faces are selected, press A. This converts triangular polygons into squares and reduces the complexity.
 +
 +==== Decimate ====
 +
 +Decimate is a modifier that simplifies the polygons and complexity of the model to reduce the processing load on the computer. This step should be performed by [[en:blender:smoothing|smoothing]], beautify and shade smooth.

 +
 +Switch to object mode(1). Then click on the spanner to open the properties of the modifier(2).

 +{{en:blender:reducing:decimate_2.png?direct&800|}}
 +
 +Select "add modifier" (1) and then "decimate" from the list (2).
 +
 +{{en:blender:reducing:decimate_3.png?direct&800|}}
 +
 +Here you can select the ratio of the decimation. For example .5=50% of the original model complexity.

 +{{en:blender:reducing:decimate_4.png?direct&800|}}
 +
 +In this case, the polygons have been reduced by half. Finding the perfect mix of reduced polygons and a beautiful look is a matter of experimentation.

 +
 +To apply decimation, first click on the arrow next to the decimate modifier.

 +
 +Click on "Apply" in the drop-down list to make the decimation permanent.
