Triangulated mesh. Please help!
So, I applied "Quadrify All" in the ribon panel. it sucessfully changed to all quads.
However, when I applied prooptimizer, It was return to triangle mesh.
and second when I saved FBX file and import to motionbuilder?
It also return to triangle mesh.
Is it an error? and how to fix it?
Please help me!

Hello,

It is not error my friend. ProOptimizer is optimizing the object's topology by triangulating it to lower the poly count.

First, if you need to optimize the poly count only then use the ProOptimizer and lower the vertex percentage according to your need, otherwise don't use it.

Second, when you are exporting the object into FBX format you will find a FBX Export Control Panel pop up. Go to the Geometry Option and there will be a box for "Triangulate". Leave it blank if your model is quad in 3DS Max and you want it as quad in your next platform.

I hope this will help. If any question, shoot it.
