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.

Hi bartosh44!

@You : "...Pardon me. I didn't mean to be rude. Thanks for your answers and for time..."

Ok. It's all right. You're welcome.


@You : "...I`ve seen on your movie that you have some fancy icons palette. How to turn it on..."

Well...that fancy icons palette it's part of a huge Moi's UI rewrite I did some times ago.
It includes some plugins also.
I wanted many times to publish my whole Moi's folder with all my UI's plugins and extensions, as I wrote some times in some posts,
but so far, unfortunately, I never had time to cleanup all the html/js code and the Moi's folder in order to create something easily "testable" by all other users.

For the moment all that I can do is to give you the links to the original posts where I talked about this topic :

1) http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8122.1
"Showcase of very personal Moi"
This is not very useful because it's only a showcase of my personal Moi

2) http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=7862.1
"Scripts Icons Gallery"
Although this is not referring to what you are asking for, it's another UI's plugin that I wrote some times ago and that I daily use.
If you want to personalize your Moi in that way, you will find all the instructions into the original post.

But I want to advice you that you have to do some heavy modification on some Moi's files and if you are new to Moi maybe it's better not to do.
Or, at least, it's better that you first make a complete backup of your actual Moi's folder.

Unfortunately actually I haven't extra spare time to help you in this configuration.

Maybe some some day I will be able to publish my whole Moi's folder and you or others will be able to easily test it.

That's all!

Have a nice day.

Hello James,

Yep!

It seems that we are missing a Network node;-) And rebuild curve would also help for a complete toolchain!

In a first step we can use a loft for u or for v, but it's not the same!

Have a nice day
Karsten

Hi Karsten.

@You : "...It seems that we are missing a Network node;-) ..."

Maybe I don't remember well, but...Network node had not already been written by someone ?

Hi James,
I can not get a result having followed your instructions.
The node loads ok and runs but no result so not sure if
I'm missing something.
Any thoughts?
Cheers
Barry

Hi Barry

Try the attached, ensuring that "pretopologize.3dm" is opened prior to loading "retopologize3.nod"
"SelectByName" will auto load surface for re-topologizing.

Hi James,

found the problem when I opened the retopologize macro the IsoCrvs & mPathArray node are in red meaning I don't have them.
So can you post them or point to where they are on the forum please.

Cheers
Barry

Hi Barry,

Replace nodes/extensions folder with one from here:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=8197.7

It would be prudent to make a copy of existing extensions folder
just in case you need to reinstate it.

James

Hi Barry.

I'm running "retopologize" nodes with LATEST 0.97 version of NE and all works fine.

You are running 0.96

Maybe that is the problem.

Hello Barry,

it Looks like you don't have basicFunctions.js in extensions\libs Folder.
The additional nodes should work since V0.85 up to now.

Have a nice day
Karsten

@mkdm:

Does that method work on full three dimensional objects or only on planes?

May I change mesh in your way (like on your video tutorial) on model like that:
