What software do you use to convert from triangles to quads in your meshes, I’ll be honest, preferably free. I think there is a paid add on for Fusion which I’d be tempted to use if I had to spend money.
Also is this something Revopoint would ever think about adding to that Revoscan Software?
Instant Meshes. It’s free and works perfectly.
See my guide here: From scan to CAD. Two ways using MIRACO
Instant Meshes here too
What are the advantages of having quads instead of triangles?
“Quads” does not only mean there are four-sided polygons but usually this means also having an edge-flow based on loops. Such a grid-like structure is necessary to enhance the object further (cut, unwrap, deform, …). I do this retopology in 3dsMax, as I have a licensed version here.
Many CAD application can convert quads in to an editable solid. They struggle with triangles.
Quads are very usable if you want to edit it, create new UVs, modeling , remodeling , unbiased animated model rendering , animation , rigging , material groups and many others … more organized and easy to work with . 3D modelers would prefer quads over triangles and 100% when model is used for rigging in animation .
Triangles are not much usable in my pipeline unless it is some static prop in a background .or used for reverse engineering.
Hi Gary,
Yes, the requirement of “applying quads in mesh” will be technically evaluated for product planning.
Thank you all for your responses,
@Rilot I did see that in your post, and will be looking at how to use it, I see you get good results.
@Revopoint-Jane it’s great to hear it taken on board, thank you, let’s hope it’s something viable for the future.
