[Anonymous]

Hello comrades, here imma present u an model of bucket i made yesterday as well as poly count for that model, and i watched videos and videos and read a lot about baking but i rly cant get into it and it's very important for me. So i would please any of u who know to tell me how to make low poly model from this one, like what are the steps? I tried making poly but in the end i eventually end up again in high poly section...

Hi!

1. Create the low poly geometry.

2. Bake details from high poly to low poly by creating a normal/bump or displacement map if needed.

Hi!

"Am i supposed to make totaly new poly object?"

Yes, but you can try Mesh -> Reduce.

I don't know how many polygons you need, but everything starting from about 10 faces (or more) is doable.
