Hi
I just started creating 3d molds for plaster or concrete
The process is easily done by Meshmixer.
I use edit/solid and then offset by 4mm. A new object is created.
Then I use Tinkercad to make the original invisible and join, and now I have a mold
I wish I could use Nomadsculpt on my tablet for the whole process
I miss
Where ZBrush’s process would’ve been an Extrude, Nomad’s global Inflate is a workable alternative.
Trimmed comparison shows the results
works perfectly, thanks
Create an object
Clone
Global inflate
Hide original
Join Boolean
Do you have to join the layer before the boolean?
You can also Mask and then extract the mask. I find this easier because it has a distance setting rather than a percent setting.
Suspected Mask Extract was somewhere in there, but only gave myself 2 minutes to find it!
All things being equal, I still prefer how Global Inflate (pink) handles sharp edges over what Mask Extract’s Thickness (blue) does…
Haven’t yet tested either on an actual head sculpt tho’
not sure about it, I need to inflate the whole object, so it contains fully the original one
No, I meant join by using Boolean. No need to join before.
