[Closed] optimize splines

Does anyone know how the decrease the number of vertexes in a spline without affecting its shape? I have something like 1000 splines like this in my scene.

here is a sample max file of the spline, it has 10.000 vertexes.

sry, forgot to give the link of the script that generated the spline, so maybe somone would give me a hint on how to fix it.

ah… one thing

the plug-in I am using does not accept “jumping” frames in the animation, so if I say:

for i in 1 to animationRange.end do format i.pos to:file

the thing wont work!!!

thx

Jesus…

to correct the above post!!!

If I say:

for i in 1 to animationRange.end by 2 do format “%” i.pos to:file


[size=2]the thing won’t work. Because it jumps the animation for every 2 frames (or 3 or 4…)
