I’m using photogrammetry to make 3D models of some of my artwork. The problem I’m running into is that when there are holes through the object, the created mesh is bridging the holes. I’m new to Blender.
What I have tried:
I have imported an SVG of the 2D hole shape and tried a boolean operation, but it’s difficult to line up the shapes correctly.
Is there a particular tool or workflow that would help me?
If you want more precise 3d model for that specific rock, I suggest taking more photos for your photogrammetry process and you might get much better result. Also you can try to reconstruct it at higher poly counts, you can then decimate/reduce it as you need.
Your 2D shape is not suitable for boolean operations (It needs to be “water tight”, so no holes etc.). I remeshed your shape using some auto remeshing tools in Sculpting mode. It then works fine. You’ll probably need to edit/fine-tune that shape. Here is the edited file: trinity_edited.zip (3.5 MB)
Thanks so much for taking a look. I forgot I even included the 2D shape. Yes I was having a problem getting it to be “closed”. Other SVG files that I tried didn’t have the same problem when I extruded them. With your fix I was able to do the boolean after adjusting the angle that the two objects intersect and got the holes cut, well at least close enough.
I then went back to my original file and tried to reproduced what you did to get the 2D ‘open’ extrusion to close. I tried the remesh tool but I’m not able to get it to work like you did. Could you tell me the rough steps you did?
This is after applying the remesh with the settings shown, for Voxel Size I used the same value that was shown when I opened that panel in the file you edited. I did try other sizes, but none had satisfactory results.
Thanks again.
Greg.
