Also meanwhile there are retopology tools out there that are targeted at reworking a mesh to solve this specific problem...

Have you looked at 3D-Coat's auto retopo function?

Maybe taking triangulated output from MoI and taking it through 3D-Coat's auto retopo mechanism would produce some of the "good enough for a particular use case" type result that you're asking about.

Hi Michael,

I've already tried 3D Coat (which is a great piece of software), and somebody is already using it in production, but retopo is actually one of the parts of the process that could be avoided in certain situations (insist, in certain situations). I just was curious about what would involve to implement such thing. As I said, I'm evaluating options, trying not to discard them too soon when they don't seem possible, and see how far things can get in certain aspects. Not that "I need that or I won't be able to continue with my life", just gathering information.

Moi with its current exporting to poly features already helps to speed up a lot certain tasks.

Thanks!

Why though? If it can pump out an all quad mesh for you how and you were saying that an all quad mesh could help you in certain situations, it is a tool that could help you get the kind of output that you are asking about...

Why rule it out if it can get you the type of output that you are requesting here?

No, I'm not ruling out anything. As I said, we're already using it. Just considering different options that can help in certain situations. I don't want to be misunderstood. I would need to explain the whole thing to give you an idea of why this would help in certain cases and how compared to other solutions.

It's not a big deal though, just curious.
