Hi Steve,

I haven't tried it yet, but the whole point of the effort for me is to
reduce the size of the mesh -and- have the UV mapping still work - so if I
comment out th UV specifications, the question is moot. I can then just as
well use the uncompressed mesh.

Ever used Blender? The meshes are sourced from there, exported in OBJ format
and then converted using PoseRay - Blender is fine for me personally but
its .OBJ exporter seems to be a bit lavish with its triangles. Any idea how
I can make Blender be less profligate with exports?

I wonder because the .blend file for the particular object is 1MB, while the
final .OBJ is more than 10MB...

Thanks again,
