A: Quad Remesher is not an ordinary remesher that projects faces onto a surface, but a cutting-edge auto-retopologizer with smart placement of edge loops and singularities, resulting in a mesh that is suitable for smooth subdivision without artifacts, proper UV mapping, easy rigging, and forms an optimal quad-poly base mesh for Multiresolution sculpting.
A: Uncheck the Adaptive Quad Count option. That should result in a quad polygon amount that better matches your input value (although it can still differ a bit, because the algorithm needs a little flexibility for a proper solution).
Quad Remesher is capable of automatically retopologizing organic as well as hard-surface meshes, featuring only quadrangular polygons, ready for subdivision or for use as a base mesh for sculpting more details.
Quad Remesher gives you top quality results. It's not just a remesher, it's an auto-retopologizer with smart placement of edge loops and singularities, resulting in meshes that are ready for proper UV mapping and rigging.
If you've ever had the pleasure of using ZBrush's ZRemesher, you'd know the quality is noticeably better than even Blender's upcoming Voxel Remesh system. It's nice to have the available option, if one desires. Much cleaner quad-based results that better keep the edge flow in mind.
I feel like that is simply not true, I work as a game developer and mostly use vanilla blender. 80% of the time we work very efficiently without the need for more sophisticated solutions. The other 20% are very niche applications of blender that are not really needed in non game development, however these are things the blender foundation cannot provide because there are many niches and every niche has its own specialized tools needed. Funnily enough the one thing disregarding blenders developers the most is your comment by branding blender as a paid-addon-dependent software just shortly after the developers completly reworked its entire structure making it an even more competitive modern software.
In fact they managed to make several open movies with it without any "need" for paid addons, so it might just be that you are not broadening your horizons and learning what is possible with vanilla blender before reading an advertisement and deciding that you cant work without it anymore.
I bought quad remesher last week and it does remesh well, but once model is remeshed the computer struggles to do the smallest of thing, like selecting a few faces or vertexes and takes forever to make slight change in the mesh, also some functions simple dont work in blender after remeshing, like filling holes in the mesh just wont work. At this point i am not happy. There is no where on their website to make comments and asking for help is cumbersome to say the least.
Hi all need help with texture baking after quad remeshing. Everytime I try it I get a completely distorted texture or a black texture. Not sure what to do. Would appreciate help. Do you use shrinkwrap modifier. Cages? Thanks.
Also, if it turns out the quality of the tool is not there yet, at least we can learn from your feedback what our future research should focus on I am still actively researching quad retopology algorithms, and I want them to be actually useful in the real world.
To elaborate on the parts I think should be interactive instead of fully automated: Initially, a cross field is computed that assigns 2 orthogonal directions to each point on the surface, indicating desired quad directions. This is very similar to Instant Meshes, where they have a nice editor to actually obtain a cross field that matches the mesh you have in mind.
The Voxel Remesher uses OpenVDB to generate a new manifold mesh from the current geometry.It produces a mesh with perfectly even distributed topology andit does not have any performance penalty once the new mesh is calculated.This makes the voxel remesher great for sculpting as it is possible tosculpt at a much higher level of detail than using other featureslike dyntopo which often adds more performance overhead.
For this technique it is highly recommended to use on a clean topology base mesh.This means the base mesh should be only made of quadsand avoid non-manifold faces, as well as poles with two connected edges.More information at Quad Remeshing for an automatic retopology method.
I have an std::vector that contains the 8 three-dimensional corner points of a distorted box.
I now want to construct an ofMesh from the corner points, which would be composed by 6 planar quad faces.
Vertices are usually a flat array of three-dimensional points, and faces a collection of vertex indices per face. However, here in oF the faces also seem to be a flat collection of indices? How, can there be a distinction between tri and quad faces then?
Yes, but the results are oftentimes unpredictable and for hundreds of OBJ files, it seems kinda overkill, even with a Python routine inside Blender. My goal is not really to export to Blender, but rather to export clean, quad meshes, without the need to do any post-processing.
