kind of. i think i heard metaballs are SDF spheres w/ and SDF union operator under the hood. this thing is using SDF spheres, cyliners, and cubes and running some algorithm to pack a space with the primitives and SDF boolean operators until the resulting shape is similar enough to the mesh you put into it

hey yospos, if you’re still wrangling tris in blender like a medieval peasant, i got just the thing for you. behold, the optimized tris-to-quads converter. turns your disgusting triangles into quads faster than you can say "why does this look like poo poo?"

perfect for making your models look slightly less embarrassing.
peep it: optimized tris-to-quads converter

triangle mess


quad mess


~perfect topology~ :2monocle:



i've been sitting on this for a bit and finally cleaned it up to share, i hope it is useful for someone else.

by using the optimized tris-to-quads converter, you agree that i am not responsible for any mishaps, disasters, or existential crises that may arise.
if your computer bursts into flames, your cat learns to code, or your 3d model gains sentience and mocks your artistic skills, that’s on you, buddy.

Thank you all so much for your help over the years especially Bluemillion, Sagebrush and Echnophsis for the feedback it really has been invaluable

now to leverage my experience for what Blender is truly meant for: shitposting

this was sick! and congratulations on finishing what must have been a massive undertaking

the headslam in the door through to the crucifix headlight actuation right as the music came in at 6;24 were some great beats and got a good laugh and a hell yeah out of me
