POLYCOUNT MESHLAB INSTALL

To approximate accurately the original shape only with well shaped triangles you requires a higher number of faces with respect to allowing more freedom in the final triangle shape. Other than Meshlab which is doing weird stuff no matter what settings I try. Paolo's comment: 'Quality threshold affects the simplification penalizing bad shaped faces. Zbrush has a great plugin for reducing polycount. The documentation isn't clear on what the consequence of using a higher value is - my impression is that it's slightly slower than low values, so I happily used a value of 1 with great results. Enter a value between 0 and 1 here the higher the value the harder MeshLab tries to stick to your original model's shape. Target number of faces - I don't think I need to explain this :) Here are what I believe to be the optimal settings: We can now cut out the magenta faces, and reduce the mesh to a low polycount. Currently, there are no textures applied yet all you see are the vertex colors. You can click on the 'Help' button to get extra information about the available options, but that didn't answer all my questions so I checked with the creator of MeshLab, Peolo Cignoni. We used Meshlab’s implementation of the Poisson Surface Reconstruction algorithm, which takes several minutes to compute, but results in a very smooth mesh.

If you haven't already done so, please download and install MeshLab and import your model.įrom the menu, select Filters > Remeshing, simplification and construction > Quadratic Edge Collapse Detection.
