Instant meshes - Free retopology solution

Very cool piece of software. Thanks for the run-through.

What if your mesh is symmetrical?

si pero hace las UV's a esa cosa, es imposible, buena unas UV's decentes que no den asco

Amazing video as always. Thanks 👍

my antivirus blocks the website page when i go to download the windows version. why is that?

I wish that clean quad grid that shows the mesh flow could be saved as uv mapping.

There is any way to make the mesh symmetrical?

great tutorial!

looks better than zremesher to me

program not open zbrush file how i can solve that ?

excellent video man. thank you very much!

Thank you for this tutorial makes my workflow much easier

Why would you need this sort of trick? Why do you want to export from Nomad Sculpt, remesh it here, and then import back to Nomad again to do what?

Thanks for the tutorial. What an amazing tool.

This trick only works for sculpted or organic objects. If you try doing this with a hard surface model, the edges become jagged. Even with 10 smoothing iterations it doesn't work. I still use Instant Meshes to retopo all my 3D scanned objects though, it's perfect for that

Your a life saver Glen... I forgot this tool was available...just saved me many many hours of retop. Thanks Bud. Peter Minister

Great video!

I am so amazed by this channel. You’re really helping artists get a handle on all major aspects of the intimidating 3D world. Retopology was something that looked so painfully, excruciatingly dull, but here you’ve just introduced us to something that looks fun to experiment with! My mind is blown yet again! A million thanks!

After doing the repotology here, how to insert it back to blender, for further editing?

Great video. Subscribed. Have a nice day.

Recently discovered Nomad and I have been binge watching your content since. Must objects be combined into one mesh before importing into Instant Mesh or can you import an object that is comprised of multiple pieces?

I don't want a dinosaur on my desk 😋😅 Real or 3D printed.

thank you

Whenever I try to import an obj from iPhone, I get this message: The document “Flower.obj” could not be opened. Instant Meshes cannot open files in the “Geometry Definition File Format” format. WTF?!

Can this replace classic retopology tools? It looked like it created a lot of ngons, but I might be mistaken. Still a very handy tool from what I saw.

Saved my day! thumb up and sub, thanks for this video, it helped me from a lot of struggle

many thanks for tutorial helped me with few things I didn't know about instant meshes :)

Can you control the mesh density of different regions?

Thank you 😄

Hi, This is the first time I'm trying to retopo anything and I stumbled into this tutorial, searching for a photogrammetry workflow. The retopo worked just as you showed but I lost my UV's in the process. Is there a way to get this working? Thank you!

But you will lose lots of good details man

Hey Glen, in your opinion is there any possibility of Nomad getting some kind of a smart retopology tool set down the road? Seems like a logical next step I would think.

cool, im triying to retopo in blender but fucking sucks, idk who is the smart to put a fucking transparent shit, i cant see what im triying to retopo.

Thank YOU! I try to avoid the retopo stage all the time cause I hate doing it. This will hopefully make it less painful. :)

is there any way to give more detail on some parts to make them precise

Really INcredible, This Will save me so much Time!

on my model I Have Teeth and they are like your horn where there is nothing and it only happens to the teeth i dont know how to fix it is there a way to do the whole model except for the teeth?

Great explanation, much appreciated!

the problem that i am encountering is as you mentioned the missing volume from some places, i have changed the drawn lines but still it happens, increasing poly count or checking the pure quad box in the export menu is not helping me as well. Any tips on how not to lose volume(missing faces)?

I use this program when I'm working on Photogram work. It's pretty handy since non of the free/cheaper/non-subscription programs don't come with any useful retopology tools.

Screwed up my mesh this morning. Going with this now after all that work.

SG is da Bawm Thanks

Cool ^_^ been looking for something like this for my scans

All the free auto-retopo tools give less than desirable results. Instant Meshes is the least worst.

This looks better than zremesh considering the quick preview and iteration.

fantastic. know any good ways to transfer diffuse map from photogrammed fbx file to a retopo model ?

It's sad, that you are using the app, but even didn't give the developer a star.

Instant Meshes is embedded in 3D-Coat.

been using it since blender 2.79
