TopoGun v1.06 32Bit

TopoGun is a stand-alone resurfacing, and maps baking application. The resurfacing functions in TopoGun will help you modify and/or recreate the edgeflow of your digital 3D models. The maps baking functions, will help you bake various types of texture maps from your high resolution 3D models and then allow you to apply them to your newly created optimized meshes. These texture maps contain information that will help you recover the appearance and features of the original high resolution mesh.

Why use TopoGun?

There are several reasons an artist should consider integrating TopoGun within his/her workflow:

PORTABILITY

TopoGun is a standalone application that will be available for Windows, Mac OS, and Linux operating systems. TopoGun licenses are cross-platform and after buying one, TopoGun can be installed on any of these operating systems.

FRIENDLY INTERFACE

TopoGun supports several widespread viewport navigation models and there’s a great chance you’ll get used to it quickly. The interface is simple, straightforward and very customizable, giving you the freedom to modify it to fit your needs. You can add/delete interface elements and/or rearrange them easily.

REALTIME FEEDBACK

The newly created geometry, wraps around the highres model in realtime. When you move the retopologized mesh components around, they will stick to the highres mesh’s surface.

FRIENDLY FILE FORMATS

TopoGun uses the .obj file format which is becoming more and more of a standard in today’s 3D graphics. TopoGun’s own file format is XML based and very easy to parse. Furthermore, TopoGun also supports the .ply file format (including per-vertex color information), used extensively in the 3D scanning industry.

MULTITHREADING

TopoGun’s baking and subdivision modules are fully multithreaded and up to 256 CPU cores are supported.

NATIVE 32 and 64 BIT CODE

TopoGun is available in 32 and 64 bit executable code. The 64 bit version can access and use much more memory, thus increasing performance and capabilities.

MULTIMILLION 3D MESHES

TopoGun can handle extremely highres 3D data. The polycount limit is set by the available RAM on your system. It uses special rendering techniques to achieve unparalleled highres mesh rendering framerates.

ONE PASS MAPS BAKING

One great feature TopoGun has is one pass maps baking. Instead of baking one map at a time as most of the baking engines do, the types of maps you select are baked in a single pass, thus saving you precious time.

HARDWARE AMBIENT OCCLUSION

TopoGun uses the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) for baking hardware ambient occlusion maps. The speed that GPU computing and multithreading offers is much greater than the ambient occlusion baking methods used by today’s existing software.

32 BIT FLOATING POINT MAPS OUTPUT

TopoGun’s maps baking module can export 32 bit floating point .tiff displacement maps and ambient occlusion maps. The advantage of using 32 bit floating point displacement maps are that you don’t have to worry about displacement maps parameters such as “displacement amount” and “offset”, because the displacement values within the displacement map are real worldspace displacement values. Using the displacement map, as is, in your rendering engine will lead to perfect results, without ever having to tweak any displacement parameters. Another advantage of 32 bit floating point maps are that you can modify them without the fear of getting dithering artifacts, (the dynamic range a 32 bit floating point image has is huge compared to the dynamic range of a regular 8 bit image).

SUBDIVISION SURFACES SUPPORT

TopoGun can actually help you recover all the details the original mesh has, by using the Subdivision extension. A highres subdivided mesh is created, (starting from the retopologized model), and is “wrapped” on the original mesh’s surface in order to recover all the fine details.
Furthermore, the subdivided mesh can be used to fully recover the intermediate subdivision levels for later use within applications like ZBrush or Mudbox.
