What is Mesh Decimation in Blender?

Mesh Decimation in Blender is the process of reducing the complexity of a 3D mesh by decreasing the number of polygons, often to optimize performance or simplify models for real-time applications like gaming or VR. This process helps maintain a balance between model detail and system efficiency, ensuring smoother performance without sacrificing too much visual quality.

Use Cases in Blender

• Game Development: Decimation is used to reduce poly count for better real-time performance.

• 3D Printing: Simplifying models before printing ensures faster and more accurate results.

• Virtual Reality: Lowering mesh complexity enhances VR experiences by improving frame rates.
