What is ReDucto?

ReDucto is a stand alone polygon reduction application that both ships with MudWalker X and on its own. It uses a totally unique algorithm found no where else. How can I say that? because I spent 3 years writing it, coming up with the algorithm myself and refining it before comparing it to everything else that was similar. You will find nothing similar in any other application. ReDucto is not the fastest polygon reduction, but I can promise you it is the best. Sometimes if you want the best quality you have to be patient.

ReDucto was planned as a commercial product but as my life got more busy I simply do not have the time for all that 'selling software' entails. Simply put, I got into art to be an artist, not to be tech support. The code that ships with either MudWalkerX or ReEDucto are not the final version I use. Why? Your getting this for free, so you are not getting the final optimised versions I personally ( that will never be released, because it gives me an edge other freelancers do not have.)

I have added a download just for ReDucto (along with a few tweaks) to make it easier for those who do not use or wish to install Mudbox.

You can donate as a thankyou if you feel the need to using the button below, there is no pressure or obigation

Features:

• Unique Polygon Reduction Algorithm using its own AI that works out how best to reduce the polycount of your mesh created especially for digital sculpts. It gives better results that anything around currently.
• Intelligent hole filling capable of filling 'impossible holes' other apps will reject
• Industrial strength tri stripping and un-stripping
• Bake Ambient Occlussion and Normal map data direct to your mesh at vertex level
• Mesh merging of high polycount datasets
• Find and Fix problems in your mesh such as rougue vertex, non planar faces many many more
• Fave, edge and vertex optimisation to enable faster loading times
• 3 types of subdivision not found in most applications
• Customisable interface configurations
• Works with any application it is totally agnostic

How much is it?

Its free! (...with one simple condition)

I am first and formost an artist, these are tools I make to use myself first and foremost and I do not want to end up with 90% of my time taken up as tech support for them. So The condition is no emails begging for new features or to ask for tech support. These are completely unsupported. (Although I should point out that I've been using these for years myself in production without issue.) Also please for the love of all thats holy, read the help file PDF that comes with MudWalker X . I do not own a mac so there will be no mac version...period (unless some kind soul donates one lol). The Donate button was added specifically as many asked for one.
