Middle Pedal Polygon Reduction
Seven experiments, each rebuilt from the original full-poly FBX. Drag, orbit, and zoom every model below. Each result includes a verified ForgeMedia FBX download and its paired GLB review record.
Scope note: the request says “nine experiments” but lists seven reduction levels: 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, and 99%. This page covers all seven specified trials. No two additional percentages were inferred.
