Para algunas aplicaciones se necesitan meshes con el mayor numero de vertices y caras para mostrar detalle.  Para otras no se necesita tanto, por ejemplo aplicaciones en tiempo real, colisiones, etc.  “Qslim” es uno de los algoritmos más usados ya que reduce los meshes de triangulas rapidamente y sin perder detalles hasta que se simplifica demasiado.

Pude compilar la version de linea de comandos en MacOS X leopard, pero no la version de interface grafica.  http://graphics.cs.uiuc.edu/~garland/software/qslim.html

Has to be in windows format (even on Mac). Open with Maya (for example).

Install mencoder, mplayer from Synaptic.

Download ucbmpeg

http://ftp.interlegis.gov.br/pub/ubuntu/archive/pool/multiverse/u/ucbmpeg/

Compile mpeg_stats (needs libc6-dev)

optional, copy mpeg_stats to /bin

download dpgconv python script

http://theli.ho.com.ua/dpgconv/index.html

make it executable:

chmod -x dpgconv.py

use it (python should be installed):

dpgconv.py myavi.avi
