Retopology Tools for 3ds Max 1.2.0 Release Notes

Retopology Tools for 3ds Max 1.2.0 includes performance improvements, bug fixes and stability improvements. This release is available with your installation of 3ds Max 2023 and supported in 3ds Max 2022.

Highlights

Pre-process Retopology for faster results

• Handle larger amounts of data with less setup and preparation by enabling the option to Remesh your model as a pre-processing step before computing Retopology. You can also utilize theReForm Pre-Process model to generate a proxy remesh object that will be utilized as the data set for the Retopology algorithms to work with.
• Preprocessing can now lead to better and faster results without requiring you to go through extra steps to prepare your model (such as Pro-Optimize or performing a Retopology step using InstantMeshes).
• Errors reported by the Retopology modifier from the ReForm, Quadriflow, or InstantMeshes algorithms are now more detailed in regards to what error was encountered, giving you possible solutions to employ to resolve issues.

Data preservation and output mesh result

• Use the Display Mode pull-down menu to view the input, remesh, and output mesh results of the Retopology action.
• Mesh data that you are processing through ReForm such as UVs, Normals, and so forth, will be maintained on the output mesh for Retopology.
