I would love to see tools in Max that allow us to clean up crappy CAD models and high poly count geometry into usable, "watertight" meshes with the click of a few buttons. Something along the lines of ZRemesher/Dynamesh, but with more options to deal with meshes that have holes or unwelded verts.
Status changed to "accepted" ... does this mean that Autodesk is now officially considering auto retopology tools, or does it mean that Autodesk is officially accepting this as a future feature ? Excited either way. @brentscannell
When we changed it to under-review, it was because we were starting to research this topic for feasibility as feature for 3ds Max. Accepted means that we've done enough research around this to consider this both valuable as well as feasible, and we'd like to officially start putting this into the plan. I can't comment about when this might actually make it into a public release or anything like that, but I can add a reminder to come tag this thread as soon as something available to test as part of our beta program.
Sure! Why not? Personally, I think there are likely lower hanging fruit to bring the geometry into 3ds Max natively as quad-dominant meshes, since we do the mesh generation on important from nurbs data, however it's certainly possible to dream about how re-topology tools could be used during mesh cleanup/conversion for data that we have less control over during import time.
While I may be drifting off-topic for a little, I recall having tested importing a freeform surface made in Revit. The geometry could not be modified properly (e.g. UV mapping or even conversion to editable poly) and certainly didn't seem to have be a mesh although it is an actual editable mesh.
Actually, here's the example:
The mesh is on the left, an edit poly/ editable poly on the right (same result).

@logan_foster_adsk the interfaces look way different. Which is the more up to date ? that with curve constraints on the future roadmap section ? what is the decided latest name for it ?
Ya we decided to go with 3 options so that you could utilize what will work best in that moment. For some added fun stack retopology modifiers and use it to work your way to your intended target.
There is now a Retopology Modifier available for 3ds Max 2021 and later. If there are outstanding features you would like to see, feel free to log another Idea 😀.
