Currently playing with Boundaty Aligned Remesh. ❤ it. Thanks for developing and sharing. What do the Iterations contribute to the final result? A (much) higher value doesn’t seem to yield a visibly better topology compared to a low Iterations value. ---

yes, I think its because once its reached a local minimum, around 60 iterations it is already very dense and doesn’t have much room to change. ---

Hi @Jeacom, I’m using Boundary Aligned Remesh to remesh closed curves, then Shrinkwrap them onto another mesh and finally Solidify the result. But I noticed that the face structure (at least of the triangular polygon structure) is non-manifold here and there, containing double / mangled faces. I’ve created a little screenshot compilation: ![000036-tile](https://blenderartists.org/uploads/default/original/4X/9/d/a/9dabaa9af39f612cacc05312481380d7d487d0e9.jpeg) I tried a very high Iterations value, but that didn’t fix it. Right now I need to manually correct the mangled polygons. It’d be great if you could find a fix for this. Thanks! ---

did it happened once or every time you try it on this model? ---

It might be because the edges are too stretched, could you try triangulating and then running Beautify Faces on it before remeshing? ---

Just a remark: I’ve tried to ZRemesh the shape in ZBrush, but that gave a much worse result. 🙂 ---

Too bad: same result. I’ve triangulated with Beauty method in both drop-downs of the options, but it didn’t seem to change the polygon structure, and Beautify Faces doesn’t seem to exist anymore in Blender 2.8. ---

its does work on 2.79? if not please make a release for 2.79… ---

I want to implement those small details by default later. I’m just too busy nowadays. ---

not a plenty of people can use 2.8 (me for example) 2.8 requires more power on the graphic thing stuff like the opengl sh!t, neither not all people can afford a new pc or laptop for using blender (or other program tho). so please consider making a release for 2.79 ---

Hi @Jeacom, I’ve tried installing Boundary Aligned Remesh from the Preferences of the Blender 2.81 master build, but it doesn’t show up in the add-on list. Am I maybe doing something wrong, or is there a compatibility issue between add-ons for 2.8 and 2.81? I haven’t tried adding other add-ons to 2.81 yet. Going to try that now. ---

Update: In the mean time I’ve tried a different add-on (@kkar’s [EZLattice](https://blenderartists.org/t/ezlattice-free-plus-2-80-deform-and-reshape-models-quickly/1167836)) and that works in 2.81. ---

New update: Boundary Aligned Remesh turns out to work fine as long as you install the latest and unZipped Python script. 👍 [There are still some issues with certain add-ons though.](https://blenderartists.org/t/blender-2-81-master-build-add-on-compatibility/1173518) [Previous page](https://blenderartists.org/t/boundary-aligned-remesh/1149739.md?page=1) [Next page](https://blenderartists.org/t/boundary-aligned-remesh/1149739.md?page=3)
