Remeshing without hole filling


  • Right now, my top request is an option for a remeshing algorithm that doesn't automatically fill holes. I recognize the way that the Poisson screen method works, it's not really an option, but if you could implement a comparable method that doesn't fill holes, that would help immensely.

    In the instances of having partial scans of complex shapes, hole filling is often more of a hinderance than a help.



  • Noted, thanks Jordan. We'll see what we can do.

    Another option to skip the hole filling is to export the scan from the Scans screen, by going into the menu and choosing Export. This exports the point clouds as-is, as opposed to using the Merge screen meshing, which combines and remeshes the point cloud and of course fills the holes. 


  • Yep, that's what I've been doing as a workaround for now, but leaves the surface looking like cornflakes. That's one of the few things I do miss about Artec Studio. They had a really decent remeshing method that allowed for no hole filling.
