Remesh 3D Model
Rebuild Any Mesh to a Target Polycount
Retopologize generated or scanned geometry to a face budget your pipeline will accept.
Remesh
A great-looking mesh isn't a game-ready mesh. Generated and sculpted models routinely arrive with polycounts far beyond any real-time budget, and topology that fights deformation, LODs, and lightmaps. Manual retopology fixes it — at the cost of some of the slowest, most painstaking hours in the entire 3D pipeline.
Layer's Remesh rebuilds a model's topology automatically. Feed it any mesh, choose quad or tri output, set a target polycount, and get back clean geometry that fits your engine budget. It's the step that turns AI generation from an impressive demo into a production pipeline — dense output in, game-ready geometry out.
01
Key capabilities
Full Topology Rebuild
Remesh doesn't just decimate — it reconstructs the mesh's topology from scratch, producing clean, uniform geometry that preserves the model's shape and silhouette.
Quad or Tri Output
Choose the primitive that fits your pipeline: quads for meshes headed to sculpting, editing, or deformation-heavy rigs, or tris for final geometry going straight into the engine.
Target Polycount Control
Specify the polygon budget and Remesh builds to it. Hit different targets for hero assets, standard props, and background fill from the same source model.
Generated-Mesh Optimization
Purpose-built for the modern workflow where AI-generated meshes arrive dense. Remesh is the bridge between what generation produces and what your engine can actually ship.
Standard Export Formats
Export as OBJ or GLTF and continue in Blender, Maya, or your game engine — remeshed models behave like any hand-built asset downstream.
02
How it works
Import your mesh
Start with any 3D model — a dense generated mesh from Image to 3D, a sculpt export, or a legacy asset that needs a topology refresh.
Set your targets
Pick quad or tri output and enter the polycount your budget allows. Different asset tiers can get different targets from the same source.
Export clean geometry
Download the rebuilt mesh as OBJ or GLTF. It's ready for texturing, rigging, and engine import — no manual retopology pass required.
The industry's best 3D models. One platform.

Built for game production
Engine Budgets
Every platform has a polygon budget, and mobile budgets are unforgiving. Remesh lets you hit exact counts per asset, so performance targets are met by construction rather than by late-stage triage.
Character Pipelines
Characters need topology that deforms cleanly. Quad output at a controlled density gives riggers and animators geometry they can actually work with — pair it with Layer's Rig & Animate to take a mesh all the way to motion.
Prop and Item Libraries
Batch-optimize generated props to consistent budgets so your item library performs predictably, whether a player is holding one pickup or a screen full of them.
LOD Workflows
Generate multiple polycount targets from one source mesh to build out level-of-detail chains without modeling each tier by hand.
For assets built to a triangle budget from the start, see low-poly 3D models.
Trusted by 400+ game studios and entertainment brands including Zynga, SciPlay, and Huuuge Games, Layer makes the gap between generated and game-ready a single step.

Questions about Remesh
What does remeshing do?+
Remeshing rebuilds a model's topology from scratch. Layer's Remesh takes any mesh — including dense AI-generated ones — and produces clean geometry at the polycount you specify.
Can I choose between quad and triangle output?+
Yes. Remesh supports both quad and tri output, so you can target quads for downstream editing and deformation or tris for final in-engine geometry.
How do I control the polygon count?+
Set a target polycount and Remesh rebuilds the model to fit it, letting you match your engine budget for each asset tier — hero, standard, or background.
Why do AI-generated meshes need remeshing?+
Generated meshes are often far denser than a real-time engine budget allows. Remesh converts that dense output into geometry your engine can render efficiently, completing the path from generation to game-ready.
What export formats are supported?+
Remeshed models export as OBJ and GLTF, ready to open in Blender, Maya, or your game engine.
