Advanced Member chingchong Posted March 27, 2014 Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Is there a quick way of picking a retopo mesh and merge it again into voxel room? I've have two workarounds, but maybe im just missing something better? my workarounds: 1) Export retopo mesh/ save and then reimporting/ merging to voxelroom 2) Add new voxel layer, run cloth tool, choose "pick from retopo", change voxellayer to surface, pressing enter to apply/merge retopo mesh into voxel room. So, is there a hidden direct way? And also are we able to duplicate retopogroup/layers ? Any advise is apreciated.

Reputable Contributor digman Posted March 27, 2014 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) No need to run the cloth tool... Use the merge tool in surface mode and pick from retopo... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Create a surface mode layer for the retopo mesh reside on first. Use the merge tool in surface mode and pick from retopo. Since you are in surface mode already, no need to select "merge without voxelizing" in the merge tool panel. Done... I am not saying this is faster but is the supported way that 3DC uses to get retopo meshes to the voxel room...

Any advise is apreciated. you can do what you do with cloth tool directly in merge tool,there is pick from retopo there too. About retopogroups you can use select all faces from this layer and then use Clone tool from retopo toolset. (there seem to be a little bug on my side as a few empty retopo groups are added along the full one...strange,I'll report later) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member chingchong Posted March 27, 2014 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 @digman and artman: thank you very much, that will help As for the retopo cloning, i will try it out when im back home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member chingchong Posted March 27, 2014 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 @ artman: Can confirm those empty retopo groups also on my side, when merging to voxel room. Also transform-functions of that "retopo mesh" before applying, seems unresponsive or extremely laggy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
