Convert Smooth Preview to low poly mesh?

[Anonymous]

Doing some high-to-low baking.  When smooth preview does its smoothing, it moves verts around.  I am cleaning up the low res which was made from the pre-smooth mesh.  I am finding myself spending a ton of time pushing verts around to get them closer to the smooth result.  Is there a way to convert the cage of the smooth preview to polys using the smoothed vert positions?

I tried Modify > Convert > Smooth Mesh Preview to Polygons, but that spits out a high res mesh.

Hi!

I believe if you want to make an object smoother, the number of polygons will increase...

But for example, if you add an edge close to an existing hard edge (the places of the object which vertices move a lot), then those vertices won't move so much.

You could also try the Edit Edge Flow Tool to reorganize, I guess...

Hope it helps!
