emtopolizer lookalikes
is there any plugins out there for max, maya (or another app perhaps), that allows you to do what emtopolizer does, specifically dismantle and rebuild objects with some control that does NOT require any programming. thanks
Re: emtopolizer lookalikes
Houdini and OpenVDB can do a lot and really well, but it definetly don`t have everything EmTopolizer has and vice versa.

Thanks for the info, Paul and Peter - much obliged :) Morten Den 15. april 2013 kl. 20:54 skrev pete...@skynet.be: If you just want to polygonize pointclouds and be done with it – get Polygonizer I guess. But If you’re at all excited by the prospect of messing around with topology in ICE – rather go for Topolizer. (to me, it felt faster and with better control for Polygonizing as well - though that’s just a hunch) Paul Griswold mailto:pgrisw...@fusiondigitalproductions.com Sent: Monday, April 15, 2013 3:51 PM To: Morten Bartholdy mailto:x...@colorshopvfx.dk ; softimage@listproc.autodesk.com mailto:softimage@listproc.autodesk.com Subject: Re: emTopolizer or emPolygonizer? Polygonizer is easier/faster to set up has more features for doing meshing. Topololizer's meshing tools are really there to supplement and support all the features of Topolizer.

RE: emTopolizer or emPolygonizer?
I have both, and i pretty much always use topolizer. The only time i had to use polygonizer 4 was when i had an issue with arnold and cached topolizer setups. I ended up feeding them into polygonizer4 instead, just for render. I spoke to Eric about the issue, and he's on the case.
