[Paraview] 3D Glyph Reduction

[Brian C. Panneton (CONTR)]

I have an obj file and a ply file which both have a lot of detail. The 
ply has around 48000 points (1MB) and the obj has round 6000 points 
(.2MB). I want to use these two as glyphs for each point in my reader. I 
am able to load them, but since they are huge on their own, it bogs down 
ParaView. Is there a way to reduce the amount of points, but maintain 
the basic structure?

Thanks,
Brian Panneton
