QuadRemesh, a new feature in Rhino 7 WIP for Windows and Mac, lets you create a quad mesh from mesh and NURBS geometry.

Quad meshes can be:

Converted to SubD objects (which can be converted to NURBS)

Used in rendering and animation products

Used for CFD and FEA analysis

For finding principle curvature of forms

QuadRemesh found the principal curvature of this face, with the help of the guide curve feature.

Next Steps:

Examples:



See many of the options in action in this video.



The Rhino Logo converted to quads

Multiple resolutions for optimized SubD conversion, UV Mapping, 3D Printing, etc.

Symmetry for organized topology.

Hard edge detection to preserve sharp corners

Remesh to SubD to soften hard to fillet areas for rendering.

Mesh heightfield converted to SubD objects, ready for editing.

Optimize topology and symmetry of scan data or triangulated meshes.
