Little tip that I have found useful when playing with the new bake tools: I really have been struggling to get an actually acceptable low poly out of Houdini’s auto tools like instant meshes or polyreduce. They get you halfway there but nothing I would consider super clean\/shippable. One thing that is helping is the new game dev measure curvature, I throw one of those in after a remesh down to 50k or so to get overall curvature, take concave range to 10 and contrast\/intensity to 3, blur a bit, convex to 0, single color value. Then polyreduce can use the color to guide the reduction while retaining detail across areas of high curvature. Starts to assist the silhouette preservation…
\nI still get holes, jagged polys, and artifacts quite a bit once the resolution gets down to game ready though. Definitely trying to find a great pipeline there.<\/p>\n
Perhaps “LOD create” holds some tricks…<\/p>\n
Exaggerated for effect but you get the idea<\/p>\n
