Can't open 3.5 tools in 3.1

I just realized I can’t open my new 3.5 tools in 3.1. Ugh. I just figured I would do all my new work in 3.5, then send it to 3.1 to use things like Decimation Master, etc. I guess not. Also, no one else here at my studio has been upgraded yet, so I’d be sphinctering up the pipeline. Boo. Anyone know of a way to save 3.5 tools as 3.1?

Export objs from highest and lowest subdivisions and import into 3.1 Divide the lowest subd to the same number of polys as the high res model.Then project the high res onto the low res model. If you search the forum this has been covered many times for version 3.2

Thanks, Richard. There are actually quite a few differences between 3.2 and 3.5. I was just hoping this was one of them. Some sort of Preferences option to save as 3.1, that’s all. Sorry.

Projection can give errors a lot of times. I find it easier to just give your tool AUV tiles. Export highest from 3.5. Import highest into 3.1 and Reconstruct Subdiv. Way more accurate.

As a side note, in 3.2 I could reconstruct lower subdivisions without having any UVs assigned, may be the same with 3.5
