He brought a wild digital creature to the physical world and thankfully not really to life to feast on the flesh of slow running coworkers. You may be able to do some preparations with a free application like Meshlab which can be used to fix errors in models, but I think you will still need to have a single mesh before it'll work.I wanted to share an amazing project by Autodesk colleague Craig Barr recent created using a series of Autodesk 3D products, a 3D printer, and above all his mad creative skills. You could instead try combining all of the different mesh pieces into one mesh, making it a live object, and then using the quad draw tool to retopologize the entire outer structure, leaving no gaps (for example, the space between the inner arm and the sleeve of the coat should not just be empty space.make it all a solid object).Īlternatively, you could get a tool that is designed to prepare your model for printing, such as CUR3D Maker Edition on Steam, but it will cost. That stuff needs to go away, which can be a significant amount of work. Anything that isn't able to be seen shouldn't be modeled, so things like the model body behind the clothes aren't going to show up in a 3D printed model, and are actually going to hinder the process.

Have a nice day!Ī 3d printing model is different beast to a model that is rig-ready. If you have any other software on your mind which you think would solve my issues better, let me know, although I would prefer to learn Maya. I'll run it through some slicer after previous problems are fixed. I'm attaching picture of the whole model in case you can think of some other things which may cause trouble. Due to my inexperience in Maya or other modeling softwares I'll need to be told how to fix all this or get linked to some videos/guides. The only solution I can think of is to incrase thickness of the Suit to make it solid inside, if you got me, although I have no idea how to do it. There are not solid mesh and some parts are sticking out. Next is space between shoe and sole and last one I have on my mind are hair. First three of them are open holes on the end of sleeves and trousers, space between chest and shirt. I've screen-shoted several things that I think will 'cause trouble. I've created a guy in Reallusion's Character Creator 3, exported it to Maya, there fixed some issues with mesh popping out of clothes and now would like to get it ready for my original intention - 3D Printing.
