BETTER PERFORMANCE in Blender with the Decimate Modifier!

In this video, learn to use the decimate modifier for Blender to reduce the size and complexity of objects to improve performance!

Often, we'll use models inside of Blender that are just too complex - they have way more faces and vertices than they really need, which can really hurt your model performance on your computer.

This modifier gives you an easy way to reduce the number of edges/faces/vertices in your model!
