adding polygons to files?

[myxpykalix]

I should know this from my days with lightwave and the dos version of 3D studio (early 90's!!)

Have you ever found 3d stls that are real "chunky"? I seem to recall a program that would analyze and add polygons to an object. I thought it was polytrans/nugraf but my 90's version doesn't seem to have that?:confused:

you can smooth 3d models in Zbrush..

mitch,
thanks for the tip however if you look at this screncap you will see what the issue is. It is missing polygons. And if it were a symetrical file that you could rub and smudge to smooth it out your suggestion might work but this is a basketweave column.

i thought one of those pgms i mentioned analyzed a file like this and added polygons where they were missing. I must be "misremembering" what i thought it did.
