Choose a lighter mesh by looking at the result. Mesh Budget Lite 0.1.0 creates copies at up to three requested triangle keep ratios using Blender Decimate. Inspect supported static meshes, generate copied results, read actual triangle counts and create spaced comparison copies. Export the measured results as a local CSV.

Source geometry remains intact. Each run receives a new collection, and source-change checks require a fresh inspection after relevant edits. Unsupported inputs stay visible. Cancellation takes effect between source/ratio items; a single Decimate call can block the UI until it finishes.

Includes extension ZIP, GPL-3.0-or-later source, user guide, original three-prop .blend demo, comparison render and CSV. Tested only in Blender 4.5.3 LTS on macOS arm64; other hosts are unverified. Extract the buyer bundle and install the inner extension ZIP. Runs offline without an API key.

For local static meshes with supported static object parenting. Dynamic, linked, modifier, shape-key, animation, constraint and instance dependencies are blocked. A requested ratio is a target, not an exact-count promise. Decimate can change silhouettes, shading and UV spacing; retaining UV layers does not preserve visual appearance. This is not quad retopology, rig repair, baking, engine LOD switching or file export. Inspect results before use. No automatic project save.
