Clean up mesh/Type conversion

Support Modeling
1

Hi guys. My first post here so please forgive me if it sounds stupid…:smiley:

I use blender mainly for 3d logo creation. Usually I do my type layout in Illustrator, convert it to outline, export to SVG, and then import into blender. I then convert curve to mesh to do more texturing if need to.

My question is…is there a better way to clean up the converted mesh other than Remesh?? For remesh to do a good clean up it usually requires higher settings, which means more faces and slower render time. If anyone can help me shine some light on this topic it will really help me.

Thank you!!

Any chance you could post a pic or .blend to help illustrate what it is exactly that you are importing?

thx for the reply. I did some research on my own and found out this option called “Limited Dissolve” that helps reduce/clean up meshes. Here is how…

Convert either type or imported SVG(vector)

Usually this gives you a pretty messed up mesh thats almost impossible to do any decent texturing

This is a cleaner mesh after applying Limited Dissolve. Much better than Remesh IMO.
