Full Version: What mesh export is better for general public/usecase?

Exported OBJs with N-gons output from MoI do look attractive and organized, but some programs (like renderers) hate n-gons. Maybe they cannot deal with t-splines.
Btw I've always wondering if MoI would support exporting OBJs with "Quads only" output in the future? Or maybe quad-remeshing with third-party softwares/plugins is the only way, rather than manual retopology?

Hi Nikita, yes it's probably a good idea to have 2 different versions included since there are some programs and workflows that don't work well with n-gons. But when you can use them they are very nice because your wireframe looks like the original CAD model.

Hi tuananhnp,

re:

I would like to work on that in the future but it is not something like a tweak to the current mesher, it will need a totally different meshing process.

Okay thank you.

Yeah I heard that game engines only use triangles and that it is better to triangulate it directly from the beginning so no problems arise later in the game engines.

But still, I will use both versions so people can use what fits best for them.
