No, quad dominant remeshish is much more specialized and uses
algorithms wholly inappropriate for what this student is working on.
Quad dominant remeshing might eventually use surface strokes for
hinting the flow of the remeshing.  However what these tools need to
do is drastically simpler.

Dual contouring is what nick bishop (not farsthary is working on, and
again completely irrelevant to the task at hand.

The type of filling by these algorithms is totally inappropriate for
the task at hand.
