Member TestUserTorsten Posted June 23, 2009 Member Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hi, If I import an .obj file with lets say 200k polygones and just use e.g. "flatten" for a short time, the number of polygones goes up to 2 millions (if I export the object). (Right now I import it to modo and then I just decrease the number of polygones to 10%.) There is this "inc. res." increase resolution function, but why is there (beside smooth) not a "decrease resolution" function? Or did I miss it?

When you import a polygon mesh in voxel room, it will be converted into voxels and is not a polygon mesh anymore. The number you saw at the bottom of the screen is the triangle count of the (automatically)triangulated mesh of the voxel model(press "w" to view wireframe), it's not like subdivision surfaces nor mesh tesslation, it's a totally different approach.

Member WillBellJr Posted June 23, 2009 Member Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Yes, coming off a voxel object, you need to retopologize the object to get the polys managable upon export. You can do this either manually or automatically depending on what you're looking to accomplish. -Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator Daniel Posted June 25, 2009 Moderator Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 OK, I think I am blind - where do I find the automatical procedures?? :-) Torsten In VoxTree press RMB on your Volume and then choose 'Quadrangulate' See the pictures (read hints) Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
