I got a little impatient ... I cancelled the sculpting on my Zoe character and started my main project.

I imported the Krystal model from SFAssault.

The initial plan was to subdivide the lowpoly game mesh up to ~ 8-10 million polys, model some nice and fine details and then retopologize the mesh to Poser -friendly 150k.

But this mesh is total crap ... no quads, no edgeloops... I can't even divide it once without turning her into ... Falco with ears... :-(

So I'll have to do a complete topology reconstruction before I can even start sculpting... *sigh*

But I already managed to model a nice shape for her neck and upper torso....

I know the mesh from Assault is pretty much useless to work from. A friend on a starfox forum tried it once, but had to give up.

Oops. Sorry to spam. I meant un-triangulate. That's the easy part.

The best way for that is if you use lightwave you can triangulate the model using a plugin. That's what I would do. It'll give you a nice base to run with. (But if you smooth that model to about 20000 poly's or so it'll look like the one you have for poser already.) *chuckles* I found this model at one point for download somewhere. (Can't remember where exactly, but it had Fox, Falco, etc in the zip file.)

I didn't want the model itself, just the know-how to extract models on my own.

Ok then, I can't help you with that sadly.
