TrueShape

A reducer you can trust with a finished asset

• Nothing drifts: TrueShape only ever removes. Every vertex in the result is one the model already had, so tubes, straps and spokes keep their exact thickness, and fillets stay where they were.
• You set the limits: every removal is measured against the original: how far it moves the surface and how far it turns it. TrueShape never goes past your limits. If the budget can't be met within them, it stops and says so.
• Same result every time: run it twice with the same settings and you get the identical mesh, down to the vertex. Iterate on settings knowing the only thing that changed is what you changed.

Reduce

Pick a triangle budget for everything you've selected. TrueShape removes whatever carries the least shape first, across all objects at once, so the budget goes where your model needs it.

• Whole edge loops go first, keeping clean quad flow.
• Single vertices where there are no clean loops.
• Keep Surface Detail: protects bevels, creases and small facets.
• Protect UVs: keeps every seam exact.
• Split imports (OBJ, STL, game rips) are welded for you.

Bake Detail

Detail smaller than the new triangles can't survive any reduction. One click bakes it from the original into a normal map on the reduced model.

• Unwraps UVs automatically when the model has none.
• Wires the map into a copy of the material, so the original stays untouched.
• 1K, 2K or 4K, baked in Blender's background with its progress bar.
• A 2K bake from a 604k-triangle character took about 4 seconds.

From dense to game-ready in three steps

• 1. Pick your objects: one object or fifty. They share one triangle budget and stay separate objects.
• 2. Set a budget and go: a progress bar shows each stage. Orbit the view while it works; Esc cancels and changes nothing.
• 3. Put the detail back: if fine surface detail softened, bake it into a normal map from the original.

Your originals are never touched

Each result is a new object next to the original. It carries over everything that makes the asset work in your scene and in your game. A wheel that spun before still spins: every part keeps its own pivot, parent and animation.

• UV maps, exactly
• Materials and face assignment
• Color attributes
• Vertex group weights
• Shape keys and their drivers
• Modifiers, such as Armature and Mirror
• Marked seams and sharp edges
• Location, rotation and scale
• Parent and collections
• Animation action

Made for finished models

• Ideal for getting a bought, scanned or AI model under a game budget: Reduce, then Bake Detail if fine surface detail softens.
• Ideal for building LODs: Reduce the original once per level; each result keeps UVs and materials.
• Ideal for lightening hard-surface props and kitbash: crisp edges are protected, and flat panels give up their triangles first.
• Not for clean, even quads for rigging or sculpting: TrueShape keeps your vertices; it does not retopologize. Use a quad remesher for that.
