This is an AWESOME app! Is there a way to reproject detail on a lower “remeshed” duplicate? ---

Thanks, There’s no mesh reprojection at the moment. Can you tell me more about the workflow you have in mind? ---

I work in Zbrush and I usually create high poly models that I then duplicate the model and I Zremesh it and I will subdivide it a few times and then I will reproject the details of the high poly model back to the multi-subdivided model. Then I retopologize. My goal is to work mobile and your app is on its way to make that happen for me. Also to be able to pose my model using the transpose gizmo. ---

Ah I see. Since I don’t have any zremesher, the reprojection makes only sense if you export to zbrush, zremesh and then reimport. ---

I believe if I model my sculpt in Nomad to a high poly and duplicate it and use your voxel remesh at a high resolution and then subdivide that a few times and be able to reproject that it should work. ---

Ah maybe it make sense but I wonder how it would compare against a simple high res voxel remesh. In any case it’s not planned for now but I might give it more thoughts if I see other users interested. ---

One thing I’d love to do with reprojection is to take a reduced version of the current mesh, (perhaps with the global dynamic topo or voxel remeshing, but then bake the details onto a subdivided version of that reduced mesh, basically to re-add subdivs to a model that no longer has them. so perhaps a single button that borh re-meshes lower, subdivides, and reprojects the details back to the new mesh. other options for projection of 3d details are things like shrink wrapping mesh A around Mesh B btw would ALSO love a slightly higher precision in re-projecting layer position detail, there seem to be some issues with isolines forming… ---

I had that in mind, not top priority but I’ll probably do it later. > [@Shahar2k](#): > > btw would ALSO love a slightly higher precision in re-projecting layer position detail, there seem to be some issues with isolines forming… Just to confirm you are talking about: - create layer and sculpt in it - voxel remesh Then when you set the layer to 0, it doesn’t exactly revert? ---

yeah pretty much, I’ve made a little video to illustrate what I mean, I’m honestly not sure if it’s possible to fix? > **[New video by Shahar Eldar](https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipM_zg5Duxe6LhXsrY-EZyalRaohQJg28oSJwLdAifAC872cCtC4cxCu1PUmKl4arw?key=Y3JfanlwZlJ0R1F0M2tQc1RqSmtSWGx4UE9lVDRR)** this video is still processing so it should go higher resolution soon… but what I’m referring to is the little ridge lines that form everywhere. but it’s likely a side effect of the sampling grid and such. but I can only infer what’s happening under the hood obviously. (compiling a list of features I’d love as I go) ---

Ah yes it’s a known issue, that’s the reason why the tooltip in the voxel remesher states that “layers are kept but quality will degrade”. ---

A reprojection workflow would only be super useful if there was something similar to ZRemesher. Which I know from another thread @stephomi is aware of + other similar tools. Would be nice to have, but I know he said it would take the better part of a year to get close to their level of automation. Also, @DumbAlien look into reprojection using history recall in ZBrush. It came out in 2020. It’s much easier.
