Reduce the number of colors used by a polyset.
Overview
The Polyset Prelight operation stores 32 bit color values (8 bits each of red, green, blue, and alpha) in the vertices of polygons. Once you have stored the color information, you can use this tool to reduce the resolution of the stored color information.
This tool is useful if you plan to use the model on a low color resolution display device, or if you want to reduce the storage space of the model.
