Polygon to Moi what are some best practices?

Hi Matadem, for the general case the best practice is to not try to import polygon mesh data into Moi.

Usually polygon mesh data is best handled in a polygon mesh editing program and not in a CAD program.

The main exception to that is if you have a mesh configured for having sub-d smoothing applied to it. In this case you can export the subd control cage and convert it into a smooth surface in Moi using SubD > Create > From file.

So there isn't exactly a single answer that fits all polygon meshes, it can depend on the particular characteristics of the mesh.

A mesh from a 3d scanner with 10 million triangles is a lot different than a sparse all quad sub-d model control cage.

Do you maybe have an example mesh that is representative of the type of thing you would like to convert?
