How to complete models

2

Dear MeshLab…

… I always end with 3D models with lots of missing parts, open

bottom/back, and large empty chunks… it is a pain using them for

rendering and visualization, and do not make me start on 3D

printing…

Thanks

Mr. Gruviere

Missing in action

No matter

BEWARE, this is not about filling small holes, but

This can be done for two reasons:

- Rendering or interactive visualization

- 3D Printing

Simply not possible

You probably already tried to “poisson it”… Going automatic will not

do, especially for complex/non-smooth situations.

Only you know exactly how the surface goes, so there is no other

solution than hand-modeling

What we normally do is to use a combination of MeshLab and

Blender…
