And, while faster computers and advanced graphics cards have made high polygon budgets the norm, there are still reasons to want or need lower poly versions of the same high quality models. </p> <p> Game Developers - will love being able to create lower poly versions of customized <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> 3D figures which can be exported directly into popular game engines. </p> <p> Creative Artists - will love being able to add and manipulate more characters in a scene without impacting performance. Once the scene is set, the higher poly models can be used for rendering. </p> <p> Animators - will love being able to add more characters to their animations, improve performance, and reduce production times. </p> <p> Decimator for <abbr title="Digital Art Zone">DAZ</abbr> Studio allows users to create any number of lower polygon versions of a high resolution model known as Levels of Detail (LODs).
