Re-topologize into identical equilateral triangles
In maya
Is there a way, I've seen this visual style in many games, especially mobile indie games... is there a way to re-topologize a model into completely identically sized equilateral tris? Obviously yes there will be changes in the final silhouette of the source model but that is fine.
Is there a custom plugin for maya or maybe some tutorial for Meshlab or 3DCoat or anyone know how to get this done? I have around $200 to spare if someone can write me a custom script in Maya to achieve this.
Meshlab looks like it has some way to retopologize into all-tris, but some tris are bigger and other smaller tris, they are not all-equilateral-identically-sized-tris...http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_HhP1_0uO1dY/TEYe0AwLJ9I/AAAAAAAAAgY/zaff6zrFb6I/s1600/snap_4_skull_10k.png
I need to have the tris completely identical, equilateral tris.
I need like this - https://spacesymmetrystructure.wordpress.com/2012/10/15/variation-from-uniformity/ and http://eyecontactsite.com/2010/07/kregars-geometrical-sculpture
Thanks

Yeah but it makes different sized tris. Not what I want. The tris it makes are also not perfect equilateral.

If you need it to be 100% perfect then write a script to do it. Getting a 3D model with only perfect equilaterals should be brute-force-able as an iterative process with lots of cycles of making all tris closer to perfect over and over until you've satisfied some threshold for "perfection".
That actually does look promising, thanks, I'll check it out and see!
Let me know if you need help!
If you need something done, you get it DONE. $200 is not outrageous.
I believe it's a homework assignment for architecture students.

I looked at Blender prior to making this post, it's a nice tool, but immediately you can already see the tris are isosceles and varying sizes.
Meshlab is the same too I think.. I'm gonna give Meshlab another poke.
Tried Houdini's remesh node too now, it's the same as Blender, the tris end up isosceles or varied sizes.. close, but no cigar.
This is for 3D Printing, for physical structure installation yes.
I found Rhinoceros+Grasshopper to be my next closest thing if Meshlab doesn't work out.
But Rhino is well... a fking beast for me to learn coming from a maya background and I don't program or script at all.
If it really comes to it... then... by the gods help me I'll sit and figure out Rhino.
