AI is one of the most divisive topics in creative tech at the moment, but AI isn't only generative models trained on artists' work. There are lots of non-generative AI tools that automate time-consuming tasks without replacing artistry and craftmanship, and the Tractive AI retopology tool look like a good example.
Releasing soon in beta, Tractive is designed to speed up the tedious task of recreating a 3D model's mesh to make it cleaner and more efficient for animation and video games. The tool automates the manual process, allowing 3D artists to dedicate more time to more creative parts of the job (see our pick of the best 3D modelling software).
