How can you collapse an object? I think I have too many vertacies in my object. Is there a way to select an whole object to break it down to a more simple object with less verticies? btw I am using gmax,
Thanks,
Jeff

I think you’re confused about collapsing. If you collapse vertices, edges or polygons you will dramatically alter the surface of your model. Is this what you want to do?
If you just want to reduce the complexity of the model but still have control over the shape of it at the same time. Reduce the polygon and vertices count with the Optimize modifier.

well say you have a tube, but there is no point in having multiple verticies because it is redudent, so you wan tto eliminate superfluous verticies, that won't really change the shape that much, but reduce the surfaces.
I also have another question
(and many more to come)
It seems I have verticies that are locked and I cann't move them in any view, do you know what could be possibly causing this, is there anyway around this,???
thanks,
Jeff.

If it's just a tube, you can probably get away with collapsing vertices without too much distortion as long as you choose the right combinations to collapse.

It sounds like you have Selection Toggle Lock tuned on.
If so turn it off with a tap on the Space Bar. Look to see the little pad lock toggle off and on when you tap the Space Bar.
