Hello folks, recently came to my attention that with the coming of Legion models already started to be more complicated in their structure, i mean when it comes on how many polygons thus rising the numbers when you try to cut down those unnecessary meshes. I saw that in the recent legion build of character models when importing the dwarven female i saw huge difference on the count, model had 1000+ more than the WoD one. Since im on the procedure of continue it in the future, im starting to think that soon you will not be able to rerto port since the numbers will be higher and you will not be able to do much on the same model.

I.e the new Malfurion model has 5560 tris, when i ported to WotLK looks pretty nice, tho when i did for vanilla i had this result :

  Body parts missing. I work it on blender to see if i can reduce the tris tho i could only access 3 spots that offered doubles to be removed. Means rest model stays high on count since did had any areas with doubles to delete.

So what the gurus believe, will be possible to rerto port in the future ? Im looking also if anyone has a malfurion from WoD last build or even previous builds. I want to test and see about triangles case and if its correct cause if i can port an earlier version the i believe in the future we will not be able. I like to hear what you think also any idea what else i can do to work on that model ?

There's one thing to reduce tris, you can remove double, what you did of course, and add modifier, go to the right column and select the add modifier and choose the decimate one, set it to 0.5 and it will reduce the tris.

You must not be in edit mode though

Thanks for the tip, i had it in mind, tho wasn't sure if it was reducing tris number much more. Im gonna test it and see if i can bring it down where i want too. But truth is that, legion models have many more meshes than WoD. Might happens to have malfurion from WoD build, want him to have just in case.

I finally found what else was interfering and the model couldn't work, except the etxra tris added in legion models i had forgot to delete 2 dbc entries and that was causing the problem actually . After a 2nd re-check to everything now it works like charm.
