I’m trying to reconstruct subdivisions on a high-rez extraction but I keep getting a warning that states “Mesh contains triangles. Operation cancelled”
Is there a way around this? It would seem that most people would want to extract at a high level to grab the detail, but would then want a lower poly version too. Has anyone solved this problem? I saw someone mention this in an older post as well, but a solution was never offered.
Thanks.
Extractions will have triangles, and any mesh that has triangles cannot be reconstructed down due to the fact that no subdivision operation will result in triangles. Therefore, no lower level will ever divide to create a mesh with triangles.
What you should do is extract the lower level and then divide it to have enough polys for the details you want. You can then project those details from the other SubTool to the extracted mesh.
Awesome. Thanks Aurick.
