Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted August 29, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Hi, For some reason I can't seem to start a new topic in the Feature Requests section, so I thought to post this here: The new Quadriflow auto-retopology algorithm looks very promising. It includes an option for sharp edges as well. It would be fabulous if Instant Meshes could be upgraded to Quadriflow in 3D-Coat. Quadriflow has much less singularities and triangle dead-ends than Instant Meshes, and better support for sharp edges. Many thanks in advance!

Andrew Shpagin Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Thanks for pointing! Very interesting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted September 3, 2018 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 My pleasure, @Andrew Shpagin. It'd be great if Quadriflow could be added to 3D-Coat. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Makketronics Posted September 3, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 3, 2018 I am trying to compile it for Windows and make it available as script (whenever I get free hours here and there). So far Cmake for Windows is giving me troubles finding Threading Building Blocks... If I (ever) get it to run on Windows before Andrew gets it incorporated, I will let the community know. I am not promising anything though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted September 4, 2018 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thanks @Makketronics. In my case I'd need a macOS Terminal command, but it's a good initiative that you're trying to make it accessible for Windows users. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Makketronics Posted September 6, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I got it to work on Debian Linux if anybody is interested in the binary. You may have to install some packages using the Apt manager. It is better than the current simple retopo. I like Andrew's more since you can specify denser areas. The quadriflow one retopos very good, but evenly. The good thing about it though is you dont seem to get opened surfaces. Requires libtbb libtbbmalloc libboost_program_options.so libglpk libstdc++ libm libgomp libgcc_s libpthread libc quadriflow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Metin Seven Posted September 6, 2018 Author Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 Cool! Too bad I can't use it, because I'm on macOS. But maybe @Andrew Shpagin is already implementing it for the next 3D-Coat update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Makketronics Posted September 6, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 I can take a look at MacOS. If the packages are available through their brew system it should not be hard. Windows seems to be painful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Makketronics Posted September 6, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 6, 2018 There you go. I built it on OSX El Capitan 10.11. You may yave to install packages with brew. Try them in order if you get missing libraries error. brew install tbb brew install glm brew install eigen brew install boost quadriflow 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew Shpagin Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Thanks for efforts! It is really interesting. In case if we will get executables, it is easy to integrate it in 3D-Coat even without changes in code. Look the Autoretopo/InstantMeshesAuto/ folder as example, copy it, change files (params.txt contains params to run autoretoper). In this case you will get new retopo method right in Coat's UI. We tried to compile quadriflow for Windows, we was able, but it hangs if we try to do run it on any mesh.... But if you got it on Mac/Linux - you may easily integrate it in 3DC as I described. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Makketronics Posted September 14, 2018 Member Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 Windows users, using Windows 10: If you have already installed the anniversary patch, you can "Turn Windows Features On and Off", enable "Windows Subsystem For Linux". Windows will ask you for a reboot after installation. Then search for Debian or Ubuntu from the App Store. You get to run Linux distro natively within Windows! Then you can use this new program. I tried that and VirtualBox, but Windows Subsystem for Linux seems much faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that a number of years ago. I'm now using macOS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Member Dradh Posted November 20, 2018 New Member Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Executable for Windows is here : https://blenderartists.org/t/bakemyscan-open-source-toolbox-for-asset-optimization/1133347/47?u=jr_l and it works with the new blender addon BakeMyScan. What could be the text in params.txt ? I tried: "[in]" --faces [Output_polycount] --output "[out]", with no succes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
