Decimation Master woes

gavku

Ok so it seems that decimation master won't let me decimate to the amount I want. For example. If I grab the zbrush demohead, subdivide it up to 3.6 million, then try to decimate it by 50%, it says all I can take off is 3644? Anyone encountered this? I haven't had to use zbrush in awhile, the last place I worked I think we were using 3.5. This is Zbrush4R2.

Did you have anything enabled on it? Such as polypaint decimation, layers which are still recoding or masks?

Also, try going lower, around 10-15%, in some cases, decimation can actually increase the polycount if you don't put it low enough, I recall a 2M model of mine actually jumped to 5M when I decimated it to 75%, since ZB uses average-additive/subtractive formula's for the faces.

If that still doesn't work, post up a screenshot.

Cheers, was none of the above but got it sorted.

TeriyakiStyle, had more to do with me reading the UI wrong. Where say it might come up with 1848.13 I would read it as such, rather than 1,848,130. Pretty noob... :P
