why the fuck is it impossible to get help with this shit

Use Meshmixer and reduce the triangle count by painting

I used to work on extremely low polycount, the secret is that if the texture is not mirrored, in the entire model you can get rid of a lot of triangles, so you can try this

some kinda opaque wireframe vertex monster has gotta have a ton of edge loops running from areas with wide shapes to pinch points. Like they needed more verts to make a smooth head, and ended up adding edge loops that squared the number of faces on the whole model and made way too many in the cratch and armpit.
Same process can undo it. select and delete whole edge loops. That'll eliminated lots of polygons at a time, and you can control where it happens with precision. A good split between tediously deleting faces manually and some remeshing tool thats going to distort the details.

you can decimate down to whatever polycount you want.

Show what you're working on and what you're trying to achieve exactly (if you haven't already
), I don't get why it's a struggle?
