Member 3DTutorial Posted September 8, 2009 Member Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hi, I'm curious to know the best way to deal with this situation and was wondering if any of you could offer some suggestions? Say that I import a polygon object into 3DC for conversion to a voxel object (no problem with that). But let's assume for a moment that the imported polygon object contains a lot of holes on its surface...when I then convert the object to a voxel object I get massive voxel extrusions jetting out of each and every hole of the converted object. For my purposes this is not ideal and I'm curious to learn if there is a way to deal with such objects, so that if an object has holes in it such extrusions will not be produced from the holes upon conversion? Normally, I would just find fill all the holes in the polygon surface before conversion to voxels but in the case of this object it simply is not practical or possible due to the design of the object. Any ideas or suggestions would be most welcome - thanks! Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member geo_n Posted September 8, 2009 Advanced Member Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 how about making those polys have thickness like a shell modifier or extruding them. So they would import into 3dc like clothes with thickness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be a workable solution, I'll give that a try, thanks, I'll let you know if it works out. Kind Regards, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
