| Remesh Modifier | |
| *************** | |
| The *Remesh* modifier is a tool for generating new mesh topology. | |
| The output follows the surface curvature of the input, but its topology contains only quads. | |
| Options | |

| The Remesh modifier. | |
| Mode | |
| There are three basic modes available in the *Remesh* modifier. | |
| The output topology is almost identical between the three modes, what changes is the smoothing. | |
| Blocks | |
| There is no smoothing at all. | |
| Smooth | |
| Output a smooth surface. | |
| Sharp | |
| Similar to *Smooth*, but preserves sharp edges and corners. | |
| Octree Depth | |
| Sets the resolution of the output. Low values will generate larger faces relative to the input, | |
| higher values will generate a denser output. | |
| Scale | |
| The result can be tweaked further by this, lower values effectively decrease the output resolution. | |
| Sharpness | |
| Shown when using the *Sharp Mode*. Higher values produce edges more similar to the input, | |
| while lower values filter out noise. | |
| Smooth Shading | |
| Output faces with smooth shading rather than flat shading. | |
| The smooth/flat shading of the input faces is not preserved. | |
| Remove Disconnected Pieces | |
| Filter out small disconnected pieces of the output. | |
| Thin parts of the input mesh can become lose, and generate small isolated bits of mesh. | |
| This option will remove those. | |
| Threshold | |
| Use this to control how small a disconnected component must be to be removed. | |
| .. note:: | |
| The input mesh should have some thickness to it. If the input is completely flat, | |
| add a :doc:`Solidify Modifier </modeling/modifiers/generate/solidify>` above the *Remesh* one. | |
