Hi bartosh44,

Attached is a .nod file to retopologize a dense nurbs surface
UPDATED: Only applicable for an individual nurb surface.
Will not work for a polysurface, such as imported .obj file, even after applying subD script.
Marco's method above will achieve result for polysurfaces.

In the image you can see the control vertices (dots) and the newly generated U&V curves.
Select all, and apply Construct/Network with setting Mode:Custom & Tolerance:0.5 (higher if desired).
Select generated surface, and apply Edit/Show pts to see vertex mesh.

Hope this helps
James

PS To run .nod file to must first open pretopologize.3dm, select it and create new Object/Selected node.
as above.
