How do you reduce verts/ Tris count without ruining the model too much?

Hello,

So I’m modelling a bag and as I finish I apply all my modifiers and… the Tris and verts count is insane compared to what it is supposed to be, how can I reduce this?

(I had already reduced on how much I subdivided it any further reduction will break the model)

Backpack:

Tris count: 19,184
verts count: 9,546

Thanks for your time.

Just use the decimate tool? It looks like the side could use some decimating! There should be lot’s of posts on this though!

You need to use the Decimate modifier , When you add the modifier you will see a blue bar that says ( 1000). You need to click hold it and lower it by sliding it to the left side . Thats how i am lowering my tris.

you could possibly use the decimate modifier, or lower modifier settings before applying them, or just maybe not subdivide it a as much, if im going to be honest that seems like too many subdivisons for such a simple item
