Blender decimate modifier allow us to reduce vertex and face on 3D model. It is a quick way to reduce the vertices, faces, polygons for complex 3D model. But some of the case, it would not give a good typology on the 3D model, this is not the normal process to make 3D model. Overall, it is helpful to be quickly reducing vertices and faces of 3D model. Please see below how we can use decimate modifier and its result in Blender, see if this decimate modifier works for your 3D processes. Hope this helps.

4. In Collapse, we can reduce the ratio, and check the box Symmetry. Then we can find the the Face Count is reduced to 337, which the original Face count is 500.
