Handle larger amounts of data with less setup and preparation by enabling the Remesh option as a pre-processing step.
In update 2023, a number of improvements have been made to 3ds Max's Retopology Tools to handle large amounts of data and increase the productivity of artists. With version 1.2 of Retopology Tools, work with larger amounts of data, have less setup and preparation for your meshes and preserve more features of your existing mesh.
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.
- Pre-processing 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.
Retopology Tools v1.2 is supported on Windows, Mac and Linux and available with your installation of 3ds Max 2023.
