	Remeshing is a technique that automatically rebuilds the geometry with a more uniform topology.			For a general explanation to remeshing, visit the :doc:`Introduction </sculpt_paint/sculpting/introduction>`.
	Remeshing can either add or remove the amount of topology depending on a defined resolution.
	This technique is especially useful for :doc:`sculpting </sculpt_paint/sculpting/index>`,
	to generate better topology after blocking out the initial shape.

	The Voxel Remesher uses an OpenVDB to generate a new manifold mesh from the current geometry.
	It produces a mesh with perfectly even distributed topology and
	it does not have any performance penalty once the new mesh is calculated.
	This makes the voxel remesher great for sculpting has it is possible to
	sculpt at a much higher level of detail than using other features
	like dyntopo which often adds more performance overhead.
