Wow, excellent! I;ve been looking for a decent skull everywhere, had just resolved to make my own (and failed royally ), and this comes along. Anyway, great model, shouldn't be too hard to shave off a few polys where necessary.

Wasnt hard at all.. In fact blender can do most the work for you. or you can download this one. LowpolySkull
I just ran it thru blenders decimation moddifier a few times. Its better to do a little at a time then try all at once. I set it to .9 and decimated about 5-6 times I think. Unless your planning to animate it shouldnt be a problem at all. I couldve probally ran it thru once or twice more.
Yea its pretty nice for models that arent going to be animated since it screws up the mesh. Which also makes it kind of difficult to unwrap most times.
Its pretty simple just open a model in blender look for the moddifiers and select decimation. You can then adjut the decimation level. Leaving it as is will split all quads to tris but dragging the slider below 1 starts shaving them a little at a time. Then just click apply and your set... Like I said its ussually beter to do a little at a time instead of just setting the slider to a very low number from the start... Just play around with it a little and you can get some decent results..
