Help wanted

Talking about low-poly:

Blender has a decimate modifier which allows to reduce the polycount with minimal damage to the mesh:

wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.4/Manual/Modifiers/Generate/Decimate

I can be a "decimater" for this if you want

Preferably, decimation would only be helpful in retopologizing unless the mesh is already built out in quads.
