Balancer Demo 0.72.101.Beta

Polygon Reduction: Balancer utilizes a high quality, high performance polygon reduction (aka polygon simplification or decimation) to preserve the visual appearance of your model. Polygon reduction is computed for all possible levels of details (LOD) in one shot. This entire LOD hierarchy allows you instantly pick a required optimized model that gives the best trade-off between visual appearance and the number of triangles.

Rendering Performance Optimization: Modern graphics hardware and rendering applications utilize memory and vertex cache to dramatically speed up rendering and geometry processing. To make your models benefit from this, Balancer features a fast and efficient triangle reordering.

Versions: In addition to the main version, Balancer has these two variations.

• Balancer Demo is an evaluation version. It is fully functional except for saving.
• Balancer Lite is a free version. It is fully functional but works with small meshes only. The limits for a single mesh are 15000 triangles and 10000 vertices. If your entire model is large but has many small independent meshes or layers, you can still use Balancer Lite. Before loading your model, enable Balancer to split the model into independent meshes in Tools | Options | Importers | Wavefront .obj. Balancer Lite can be used for non-commercial purposes in non-business, non-commercial environment only. Commercially, 30 days evaluation period applies.
