How can I create an iso-surface with fewer polygons than the iso-surface module extracts?
First of all, the iso-surface module provides a special option called compactify which produces about 40 percent fewer triangles than standard method. Moreover, very large data sets may be downsampled on-the-fly during isosurface generation. If you need more flexibility, you can create a separate surface object by selecting create surface from the more options menu of the iso-surface module. You may then use the simplification editor in order to remove as many triangles from the surface as you want. You can display the resulting simplified surface using the SurfaceView module.
