When I remesh a model in Blender 2.8 sculp-mode-features branch (or the merged master), the voxel remesher produces an uneven topology kind of rings which leads to shading artefacts:

OS: Windows
Remesh: Voxel (Quad is not possible cause not supported on Windows).

The purpose of this remesher is to do the initial blocking of a sculpt, not to create a final topology for rendering or animation. We can probably add some filters to the result to improve the topology distribution at the cost of performance, but it will never produce a proper edge flow. If you need a cleaner topology, you should use the Quadriflow remeher when it is available.

Hi @PabloDobarro , thx for your answer. The quadriflow remesher is the one that appears as Quad in the dropdown of the Remesh-modifier?

Why doesnt it compile with Windows? Is there a problem with the libQEx for Windows OS, basically it should be supported, right?

Well,the goal as far as performance and topology is concerned, is pretty clear: Dynamesh! When this is possible, we dont need Zbrush anymore:-)

@Jayanam No, that is libQEx + libigl. It is not related to Quadriflow and we are not going to use it for the final version. Quadriflow integration is still under development.
