Free quad converting 3D program

I ran across this in the lightwave3d forum, and find a nifty stand alone program that can convert obj file to a quad patch output with mesh target zone. I think you could convert a rough version and do some clean up to get the model you want out of it. I just got it and thought this could be perfect for Hash AM.

Looks very promising. Thank you .

I will have a look at it later on...

 

See you

Interesting. On the plus side this makes some models that are near impossible to import into A:M importable.

Regarding the inevitable singularities, I do find myself wondering if running the model through this application first then Nemyax's Blender to A:M converter might result in an optimal mesh.

Easy enough to test.

 

As with the Blender to A:M converter I find myself wishing the points of singularity were left open because they almost always aren't optimal/smooth once processed automatically.

 

Regardless, there's some pretty impressive stuff going on here:

I do find myself wondering if running the model through this application first then Nemyax's Blender to A:M converter might result in an optimal mesh.

The model should meet these requirements:

• Be an all-quads model
• Have sets of only three or five edges converging at the singularities (aka poles)

As long as both are true, the Make an A:M-Friendly Copy operation will produce an optimal topology for A:M.
