TopoGun 2.0.13647
TopoGun - программа для ретопологии, предназначена для построения низко полигональной модели по поверхности высоко полигональной, отсканированной с помощью 3D сканера или созданной в среде Zbrush, Mudbox, и запекания текстур. Можно создавать новую сетку путем добавления вершин, либо рисуя топологию специальным инструментом прямо по hipoly. Программа поддерживает формат .obj.
TopoGun is a stand-alone resurfacing, and maps baking application. The resurfacing functions in TopoGun will help you modify and/or recreate the edgeflow of your digital 3D models. The maps baking functions, will help you bake various types of texture maps from your high resolution 3D models and then allow you to apply them to your newly created optimized meshes. These texture maps contain information that will help you recover the appearance and features of the original high resolution mesh.
In today's 3D graphics, high quality 3D models, due to their nature, usually have millions of polygons. This is because most of today's 3d models are created from real world scanned models, or they are digital sculptures, created using brush based 3D sculpting applications.
In order to better serve their purposes, 3D models should have a much lower polycount and must provide for a deserved ease of handling. Even more than this, they need to have specific edgeflows in order to be more easily animated, or further detailed.
A lot of artists nowadays create their concepts as 3D models, using brush based sculpting applications. They usually start from basic primitive objects, such as cubes. At a certain point, they need to rework the topology of their models. There are several reasons for doing this: to make the 3D models more animation friendly, to create lowpoly versions for gaming or further sculpting and detailing, or as a way to change the highres topology in order to improve the model's capability of handling the highres information at a lower polygon budget. A resurfacing tool like TopoGun is needed for these purposes.
Furthermore, you can use TopoGun to bake multiple maps out of the original highres meshes. These maps can be used by texture artists when texturing the models. They can also be used by 3D engines in order to preserve the original mesh's features, (i.e., small details that couldn't be recovered after retopologizing due to the limited polycount an engine can render in realtime).
Изменения в версии 2.0:
- Improved user interface.
- TopoGun and TopoGun License Server are now available for the Linux operating system.
- The Symmetry has been rewritten and it works with all the tools. You can create custom Symmetry Planes and Symmetry Warps, so you can use symmetry on arbitrary rotated objects or on objects with slightly asymmetrical features
- The Morpher extension helps you modify the reference mesh and have the modifications bounced back to the scene geometry. This way you can basically review the highpoly sculpting process after the lowpoly retopologized version was created. The Morpher can also be used for creating lowpoly versions of digitally sculpted blendshapes or for posing lowpoly geometries like their corresponding highpoly references.
- The Draw tool has been upgraded, it supports two new line types, the Section lines and the Sweep lines, which help you retopologize cylindrical parts of the reference mesh.
- The new Tubes tool also helps you retopologize cylindrical parts of the reference mesh, by using a slightly different approach.
- The Brush tool: modify vertices with industry standard brushes and tablet pressure sensitivity support.
- The Extrude tool allows for border edges extrusions.
- Double clicking on a border edge in SimpleEdit mode selects the entire border edge loop.
- File history: access the latest opened/saved scenes from within the File menu.
- Scene crash recovery makes it impossible to lose any scene data, due to unexpected software errors.
- Merge Scene: now you can merge polygon data into an existing scene, from external files.
- To Full Shell command helps selecting the current geometry shell, including its vertices, edges and polygons.
- The Spin Edges command.
- Select Path now works on edges too.
- Online activated license can now be returned to the server via the website (from the Return License page).
- The Interactive Help System shows an information box in the viewport, for each interface element you move the mouse cursor over.
ОС: Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7/8
