This converts triangular polygons into squares and reduces the complexity.
  
-**Unsubdivide**+==== Decimate ====
  
-Unsubdivide is an operation that attempts to remove edges that were the result of a divide operation. Though not intended for this use, this operation reduces the complexity a bit further.+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.
