wtf is autoremesher-blender-bridge?

AutoRemesher Bridge for Blender is a small add-on that connects two separate 3D tools together. Blender is a free 3D modeling program, and AutoRemesher is a separate application that cleans up and simplifies the geometry of a 3D model, a process called remeshing or retopology. This add-on lets you run AutoRemesher on a mesh directly from inside Blender, instead of manually exporting and importing files by hand. The way it works is simple: Blender exports the currently selected mesh as a temporary OBJ file, a common 3D file format, then hands that file to AutoRemesher for processing, and finally imports the cleaned up result back into Blender as a brand new object. Your original mesh stays untouched unless you turn on an option to hide it. You can control settings such as the target number of quad faces, how much detail adapts to curved areas, edge scaling, and angles for sharp edges and smooth shading. It can also copy material slots and, optionally, transfer UV coordinates from the original mesh onto the new one. Using it requires Blender version 4.2 or newer, and AutoRemesher must be installed separately since this repository only contains the bridge, not AutoRemesher itself. After installing the add-on from a release file or by copying it into Blender's extensions folder, you point it to the AutoRemesher program on your computer, either through the add-on preferences, an environment variable, or by having it available on your system path. To use it day to day, you select a mesh in Blender, open the sidebar, choose the AutoRemesher tab, set your target quad count and options, then click a single button to remesh. The new object appears named after the original with an added suffix. The add-on itself is released under the GPL 3.0 license, while AutoRemesher, the separate tool it depends on, uses the MIT license.
