I have a mesh joined from dozens, possibly hundreds of smaller intersecting meshes. Now I want to turn it into a single non-intersecting mesh and start sculpting. Is there a way to do some kind of boolean union for everything at once? I'd like to avoid sitting for hours applying booleans manually for every individual submesh. Plugins, scripts - anything is good if it works.
>>996615Use the one in pic relate under the mesh tab, not the modifier. The remesh modifier is a trap.
Remesh then retopology with Instant Meshes https://youtu.be/-65iANtVVs0
>>996619No. Instant Meshes doesn't interior removal. Dobarro's voxel remesher does. You can use Instant Meshes after if you want to.
>>996617That's why Maya is the superior product. Blenderinos keep getting stuck on this "typology" thing while I could have already made the final product and shipped it.
>>996628And you won't post your work chud
>>996617Thanks, after making sure all my submeshes are closed volumes this works perfectly.
>>996617I still sometimes use the remesh modifier to try out a couple resolutions
>>996637It's really good and you can use it multiple times on a mesh that was already voxel remeshed in case you want to add other block outs or straighten it after sculpting.It's just that the Blender developers hid it because Dobarro is not gay enough or something. There's some politics involved.
>>996639The remesh modifier and Dobarro's voxel remesh use two completely different algorithms. Dobarro's is the only one that does interior removal because it uses OpenVDB under the hood.You can do the same thing on the command line if you download vdbtool.
>>996628yeah but every time you boolean in maya the DM in autodesk rolls some dice and will remotely crash your system if the roll is bad. Sometimes you can slap hundreds of meshes together no problem. Sometimes it crashes after the first one, and again after you restart, and again after you export OBJs and re import them in another scene.
Interesting thread, op
>>996628Zbrush is the tool for this kind of operation.
>>996628You are the funniest motherfucker on this board, honestly
Try the Remesh modifier.
