Blender Secrets - Add Seamless Details without Booleans using Shrinkwrap and Snapping

Adding details to a surface makes a hard surface object looks more interesting. But it’s often a lot of work to integrate objects that are added using boolean techniques with retopology. What if you could skip all that work and still have it look seamless?

Well you don't need to select every edge loop and set weight,you can just select the outer edge assign weight 1,then in weight paint mode (f3->smooth weight paint)

Also, data transfer modifier (normals) helps with reducing that visible edge between two meshes

Normals can certainly be baked into the mesh! That should totally carry over... but do test it with one, before doing a lot of work. You would just have to apply the shrinkwrap modifier.

One moment is unclear.We asign four loops as vertex group. Then select outer loop and asign weight of 1, then we select second loop and asign 0.8. Does it really remembers the weight for each loop, cause when i select the loop that i asign weight 1, it still shows weight 0.4-the last one i asigned. PS: Seems like it works just fine. It's weird Blender doesn't show loop weight dynamically on selection. Feels this part of Blender lacks a lot.

That's odd. You can see it in Weight Paint mode, the color goes from weight 1 to weight 0.

Nvm, I thought the Vertex Group panel would show the assigned weight of a vertex or loop when reselected. So apparently the 'heat map' in Texture Paint mode is the only way to 'know' the value of an assigned weight.

I sculpt for 3d printing. Booleans don't work so this got my attention. This doesn't merge geometry and remove the hidden polys below the added details. It still might work if the details added are manifold though. Thanks

@BlenderSecrets 2 жыл бұрын

No, I don't think this technique will help you for 3D printing. Booleans should be fine, but whenever I prepare something for printing I will ALWAYS retopo with an automated remeshing algorithm, and reproject the detail onto that to get a perfect watertight mesh.

@@BlenderSecrets That would actually be better than what I meant, which is a UV that would be generated as if you just extruded that part from the base mesh (which means heavy stretching without UV seams) 🤔I think it could be done with Python relatively easily: iterating over all vertices with weight 1 check on which faces of main mesh they land, convert that to UV coordinates and set that as UV coordinates of loops with those vertices. Now just pin those points and UV unwrap. Perhaps the blending solution would simply use 2 UV maps: this new one, the original one, and a material that blends color between them?
