Speed up Ply2vrmesh

[flat]

I often convert OBJ files (from Zbrush) with tens of millions to hundreds of millions of polygons to vrmesh.

The figure shows that it took 26 minutes to convert a 43 million polygon OBJ to vrmesh on a Core i7 3.40Ghz machine.

Is there a way to speed up Ply2vrmesh?
I can let Ply2vrmesh consume memory.

There should be ways to speed it up, yes. Do you think you can send me some test .OBJ to vlado@chaosgroup.com so that we can experiement with it and see what kind of improvements we get?

Best regards,

download a sample OBJ model here.

The sample model of ZBrush has 40 million polygons. (Not an interesting model)

ZBrush frequently generates models with more polygons than this.
Also, every time there is a change in the model, it needs to be converted to vrmesh.

If the conversion from OBJ to vrmesh is fast, V-Ray will make rendering ZBrush models much easier.
