Protoyping in indie dev is hard. Especially the visual side. So I tested whether Tripo's Smart Mesh 2.0 does what it claims: Generate quad topology directly. I measured the face counts, the vertex counts, the generation times and the rig. This video is sponsored by Tripo. The evaluation is still fully mine, including the part they come off worst in.
