Poly mesh vertex reorder tool?

[user_deleted]

Does anyone have a point reorder tool for maya, or any app for that matter?
i need to get a zbrush mesh reordered to match the point order of a maya mesh vertex position is exactly the same on both same face edge count etc just need points to match.

thanks,
darrell

Doubt theres anything like this. Its the same issue with maya -> mudbox -> maya, after this you can forget fixing or recreating uvs and blend shape the original maya model into the mudbox shape and go on with this. The only thing you can do is to go over uvs if they match precisely on both meshes. Go trough all vertices and convert them each into the according map point, get the value and then search the corresponding map poin at the other mesh and get the vertex. Then morph one mesh into the other. This of course is slow on mel, dont expect to get results in acceptable time with meshes having a vertex count above 100k.

It spossible to make if you can just know what the order should be, it does make maya innefective tough.

One idea is to store the original sculpt it bring back the original unsculpted and use that as target.

PS: there is a point reorder tool in the devkit.

how would i go about using the point reoder tool in the devkit
?

You compile it. Its in devkit directory under maya install. Tough its of little use but it might work if you can idetify one common vertex

Its just a example that systematically reorders vertices you don't get any control on what its going to do*, If you want control then you need to hire a programmer.**

• but choosing the right vertex it might be enough

** seriously, its cheaper. An no not a cheap programmer a expensive one.
