A free quad remesher?!

so i was exploring this app feature to figuring out how some tool work and i find a quad remesher tool

my question is whats the different between this “free quad remesher” and the paid ones? because in my experience (i just learning 3d this month im a noob) i think the free quad remesh do the same thing with the paid ones. or maybe the paid ones have some advance feature? btw i hope this is not a bug or a mistake by the developer (i be so mad if it is, cuz maybe they remove this feature😭)

No worries - there are two built-in remeshers (Instant, and Quadriflow, which has to be enabled in the debug menu), but their output can be messy, or even completely broken sometimes. They’re also incapable of producing a symmetrical output as far as I know. They’re considered dead ends, but I’d be lying if I said they weren’t occasionally useful. They’re also both available on Android, which is a plus.

Which one would be the “less worse” of the two? I’ve been trying to use the “Instant” one on a fairly simple object but it gets stuck at 25% and freezes the app. The results on the quadriflow one are less than stellar, indeed.

It just depends on the object you’re remeshing. There’s not a whole lot of logic to it as far as I can tell, so your best bet, is to try both and see which one produces the cleanest topology for each scenario.

Thank you. I ended up buying the paid QR for Nomad Desktop. :blush:

It’s definitely worth it, and it’ll give you by far the cleanest topology out of all the ‘fire-and-forget’ options that I’m aware of. If you need a good ‘how-to’ guide for it, I know Vertex Senpai, and ProcreateFX both touch on that on YouTube, and both post here as well. Give em a look!

Thanks! I definitely need some guidance,will look for those. My results using the plugin so far have been somewhat… perplexing. :sweat_smile:

If you’ve got a picture of what it’s doing, I’d be happy to have a look. I don’t use QR as much as some users, but I can diagnose quite a few odd behaviors.

Thanks bro, I really appreciate it. I’ve only been experimenting with it so far, but if I run into any issues down the line I’d be grateful for your help.

I bought it as soon aa it dropped. I find it to be worth every penny and super useful in everything I do
