Does anyone know of any third party mesh optimising plugins for Max 5? Something that has more options for control than Max's standard one.. If anyone has suggestions to optimize certain parts of a mesh, please tell me.. Basically, i have a mesh of a landscape with mountains and ridges, and I'm hoping to optimise just the mountain areas.

Anyhow, it lets you work off a vertex level.. Much more control.. Give it a whirl
