Blender has a remesh function but mangles the normals on many of the new polys, and the Octree (comparable to # of subdivisions) has to be set very high which generates an excessive # of polys just to get something that looks like what you started with. There does not seem to be any adaptive subdivision.

I'll import a mesh (with bad normals) into Hexagon and unify everything. Then export to Carrara to crease whatever edges need to be creased. I think 3D-Coat works much better if models have creases to help its UV mapping calculations.
