Member GimbalLock Posted December 3, 2018 Member Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi forum, Many times i use the AUTOPO feature, I get something like this. In this example, poly count was set to 9000, but it makes 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Falconius Posted December 3, 2018 Advanced Member Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Is it a scale issue? As in the thing is too small in 3D Coat? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member GimbalLock Posted December 3, 2018 Author Member Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi Falconius, I don't think so... This one is about 10 cm, but it also happens with larger objects. Btw, how do you tell the physical size of your object in 3d coat? Mesh/units seem rather arbitrary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted December 3, 2018 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 When using Auto-Retopo you have to keep the K.I.S.S. method in mind. It's an algorithm and you are throwing the kitchen sink at it with thousands of undulations and telling it to spit out a rather simple mesh from it. The best option is to create a dummy duplicate of the model, hit SMOOTH ALL quite a few times and try it, then. If the result is good on your dumbed down version, then you can simply re-snap that to the higher detail version. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
