Any tips to fix non-manifold vertices in Soft?

2012-06-26 Thread Alan Fregtman
Hey guys, We're making some shells with ZBrush and when they come in they sometimes have non-manifold vertices, the only kind of non-manifold geometry that XSI unfortunately permits. Any modelers out there know any tool to find and/or fix this sort of bad geo? Right now I'm opening Maya and

Theres a few different ways a mesh can be non-manifold. Like, are there more than two faces sharing the same edge? A bunch of edges sharing the same vertex? Can you post some pics? On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 10:45 AM, Alan Fregtman alan.fregt...@gmail.comwrote: Hey guys, We're making some

to fix non-manifold vertices in Soft? Hmm, I just managed to create an object where three polygons share an edge, not just a vertex. It can even be subdivided (not implying that it looks great). It's the only kind that Softimage allows... http://softimage.wiki.softimage.com/xsidocs/ca076000.jpg

You can identify them sometimes as being part of an edges which have more than two incident faces (more than two incident faces means that the surface is problematic.) -ben On Tue, Jun 26, 2012 at 11:59 AM, Alan Fregtman alan.fregt...@gmail.com wrote: Anyone know the logic to identify

Alan, I admit I haven't thought this through completely - but I'd check if a vertex has a neighborPolygon that does *not *share an edge with any of the other neighborPolygons? Cheers, Martin -- Martin Chatterjee [ Freelance Technical Director ] [ http://www.chatterjee.de ] [
