  • How to do Structure from motion (SfM) from a video in Blender?
    First there's COLMAP that seems to be able to work with SfM data. And then there's Blender-Addon-Photgrammetry-Importer which can take the output of COLMAP and import that into blender. Source: almost 2 years ago

meshmixer mentions (13)

  • Making 3D models 100% solid
    To add a bit to what others are saying. Mesh mixer is sometimes a great tool for some of this. Source: 8 months ago
  • strange wavy patterns, don't think its z banding
    Ah right. If you can't get the source file, you could try smoothing them out in meshmixer. Source: 10 months ago
  • Hollowing prints
    The quickest fix I know is to use the free meshmixer. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Editing STL files
    There are programs such as Meshmixer specifically intended to do that, others such as Blender which can do a good job (but beware of missing surfaces or inside-out triangles) and some CAD programs such as Fusion 360 which have the ability to convert meshes. Even Tinkercad can make some changes. It's always better to get a CAD file in a common interchange format such as a STP (STEP) file if you can, though. Source: about 1 year ago
  • All 50+ "Complicated" Autodesk software explained in 12 minutes [Super high effort useful video]
    Meshmixer seems to be no longer in developement, with their integration of similar features with fusion360 according to their site https://meshmixer.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
