Updates to retopology tools in Maya enable artists to achieve enhanced results for their meshes.
Retopology tools in Maya provides options to work with topology manually or automatically with Mesh > Retopologize. With your installation of Maya 2023, this menu newly provides a pre-processing option for artists working with large and dense meshes. See Retopologize options, Preparing a mesh for Retopologize and Automatically Retopologize a mesh to learn more.
- This is an update to the Retopologize node that was introduced in Maya 2020. Changes include additional open source retopology algorithms for preprocessing and data preservation. Reform, the base algorithm for the legacy Retopologize node, is now significantly faster. It also now includes a preprocessing feature that eliminates the need for triangle remeshing prior to retopologizing to quads, and further improves performance.
