Simplify Modifier

The Simplify modifier allows you to reduce the amount of points in the strokes.The goal of this modifier is reduce points while maintaining the lines shape.

Apply the modifier can help to obtain a better performance (more FPS) while animating.

Options

The Simplify modifier.

• Mode

• Determines how to reduce points in the strokes.

  • Fixed

  • Deletes alternated points in the strokes, except the start and end points.

    • Iterations
    • Number of times to repeat the procedure.
  • Adaptive

  • Uses the RDP algorithm (Ramer-Douglas-Peucker algorithm) for points deletion.The algorithm try to obtain a similar line shape with fewer points.

    • Factor
    • Controls the amount of recursively simplifications applied by the algorithm.
