Tris To Quads (2)

[mike_bonifacio]

hi.

i have a model done in all triangles. i want to convert the triangles to quads but i don't know how.
i was pretty sure i did it once a long time ago.
im working in maya 7.

if there is no way to do it in maya, do u know of any mel scripts or plug-ins that will do it.
thanks in advance

There is this function in maya, but it doesn't work that well, and it wil not convert triangles into quads. There is no way i know, unless there is such script, but i doubt that.

"Quadrangulate" worked for me in most cases.
(Modeling) Polygons -> Quadrangulate
You can also use this on parts of the object by selecting a bunch of faces first.

When it does not produce the result you wanted, correct errors by hand using splitPolygon tool and deleting individual edges (select edge, hit Del / Entf).
Success? gl.

or, alternatively, download the fabulous nathangulate mel script, which doesn't just stop at Quads!!

oh, and please don't double-post!
