Help lowering number of vertexes

[darkrider]

Hi, the tittle kind of summarizes the topic. A friend of mine made some models for me. They work very well in-game, but some of them exceed the size of 400kb which is a big problem because all of them tend to weight 2.5mb without textures :S.

I've seen them in War3ModelEditor and as far as I can tell they have a lot of vertexes and i assume this can be an issue in model size.

I would like to know if there is a way to make them smaller (i tried using mdx squisher but strangely it has no effect on them :S)

Here is a pick of one of those models in War3ModelEditor

If you guys need the textures to work on them ask me and i'll send them to you

one could try various decimation programs maybe if there are some free, but i doubt you'll get the animations tranfered in this process...

do you know any i could try? (paid or free doesn't matter... perhaps a trial version may help too)

Well, in max you got a modifier called "multi res" and other great plugins you could google...
though they mostly produce unclean meshes.
