Pandora 3D Remeshing

But still, best to ask for DaveC's approval first.

Fixed. It's his design to share or not share ultimately, within the courtesy of not giving it all away for someone to copy after all this hard work. I can't see him doing that though.

That's interesting. I understand DaveC did the heavy lifting... but I thought OpenPandora Ltd. *owned* the design. It's nice that you leave the descision up to the one who did the work.

@BlackPixel - How do you get your avitar to only blink when I look away. I don't like it. It's scary.

This is my first post here and I'm not really used to forums anyway, so err...... hi all ?

*cough*

I've downloaded the STLs of the pandora a long time ago and finallly had a couple of hours to work on them.

So the STLs are pretty much the usual screwup you get when you go from nurbs / volumes to polygons.
No real topology, open edges, double faces etc. sudivision? forget it ^^
And you also need get rid of those perfect sharp edges to get some nice highlights.

Soooo I started to do a complete remesh / retopo to get a decent model for rendering.. MUAHAHAHA!!

Right now I'm done with the stylus and the back of the top part.
I try to get rid of unnecessary polys without sacrificing any detail aaaand maintain a subdividable topology.
It's not final yet and I know I can go lower with the polycount.
..especially the stylus - but this was the first test and I'll reduce it when Im done with the whole thingy ^^

so if anyone's interested I would gladly share the files when I'm done.

I'm working in 3dsmax 2k8, but I can spit our anything from obj to fbx

Here's the progress so far:

The top part:




And the stylus:




I think I'll be done some time next week, coz I'm not home this weekend.

The first thing pix has said is "Hi everyone, here's the kind of thing I can do, which may benefit our little community". Not that odd IMHO.
