thanks, that's good to know about ... still no geometry output from the autopo, though...

I thought that might be the culprit, but tried a range of poly counts from 2500 up to 100k, but I still end up with an empty retopo object. And thanks, that's good perspective in terms of setting expectations this is for an intro class, I'm admittedly having them take a shortcut on this step to get them into the baking and painting stage on this assignment.

Usually Autopo has been working reasonably well for me. But now I have typical-looking human character model where the Autopo process just doesn't produce anything. When i get to the end of the wizard I get a retopo object listed, but it doesn't have any geometry in it. I tried various options in the autopo settings, and also tried converting the model into voxel mode, into surface mode, various different density levels, using the strokes and density paint or not, etc. Usually these all give me different results in the output topology, but I'm just getting nothing. Is this normal, and just the result of having some settings wrong?

Hi, upgrading to the newest version fixed it. thanks!

Using 4.8.04 on Windows 10. One of my students has an issue with their file: opening that file in 3DCoat crashes the program. Opening other files is fine. Tried on three machines: the student's laptop, the lab machines (Core i7, GTX 1080, 16GB), and my laptop (Core i7, GTX 1060, 16GB), with the same results. File->Import with this file also crashes. Any tips on troubleshooting?
