Watertight mesh

Tue Feb 16, 2016 10:55 am

Hi Guys,

I was think about Jim's comment on roundcornes to work the mesh need to be Watertight to work and some software (Power translator cad to poly) make a lot wrong meshs to work.
So after research I find this app https://proforma-3dprinting-store.mysho ... r-software which repair the polygons from priting on Watertight mesh.

But need to buy

and no try

Do you think this will resolve the problem for cad file and make work the Roundcorners option????

Best

Certainly Maya has the ability to "close holes"... Lightwave has this.. ZBrush too....

I haven't tried it but maybe Meshlab can fix it:

hehehe I know with Maya I have no errors but still a problem with roundcorners...check size all stuff still not the best need make really smaller and without a normal map connected

...I will try Meshlab is true I use to rebuild photogrammetry mesh I didn't make the link with the CAD

these still leave it in tris though, right? I thought round corners in octane had to be on geo that is quads?

Also, this is an AMAZING simple tool for retoplogizing to quads or tris. Unfortunately, it is sometimes a bit too simplified to work on complex hard surface models. But for many things it works amazingly.
