Blender shrink wrap modifier

Before I started the 'Heartbreaker' project I probably wouldn't have said that the Shrinkwrap modifier is one of my favourite modifiers in Blender not that anyone had actually asked me, or likely ever would.

Im trying to get use and control better some techniques that I intend to apply to as much as possible realistic clothes to an object body. I work with 2. In the default scene with the default cube Im duplicating it and make the second cube grey big enough to entirely contain the first one red. Then I apply a Shrinkwrap modifier with the following settings. Sooo this is OK! Then I subdivided both cubes, I distorted a little the front side of the first cube red one and applied the same modifier again.

Embrace the Shrinkwrap blender shrink wrap modifier, love it, cuddle it, hold it at night, whisper sweet nothings into its ear and thank the gods it exists. Abidos Abidos September 5,am 5. Frankly, I expected the grey cube to wrap nicely the red one AGAIN as it has the same number of verts and topology as the red one.

When creating objects for video games, the traditional process involves creating high poly models for our designs first before creating a low poly version using a form of retopology and then using the baking tools to map those high poly details onto the low poly version of the model. One of the fastest methods of retopology is to use the shrinkwrap modifier. This involves taking a basic shape and scaling it up to appear larger than the higher poly mesh. If you can learn to use the shrinkwrap modifier effectively, you can significantly reduce the time spent on the retopology phase. This helps as it is one of the less enjoyable aspects of being a 3D artist. If you are new to 3D modeling, then you may be unaware of the process of retopologizing your model.

So if you want to wrap things tight, the wrapper needs to have more vertices than object being wrapped to follow the sufrace. Enabling this option insures that all the shrinkwrapped vertices will sit above the target surface above as defined by the target mesh normals — extremely useful for clothing setups. If so - I will post it in the Python section of this forum. In fact, my alternative idea to coping with the problem is to create a script that re-shapes an object covering another object and staying at a certain distance off it. Richard - Unfortunately, this is NOT the case… I intuitively figured out this may be the problem and I made the grey cube much, much bigger. The key to this is vertex groups. But then, who am I to start renaming things? Oh, great, Richard! The Snap modifier has a ring to it. You only need to have your shrinkwrapped mesh just larger than your target. Please don't be so demanding. Sooo this is OK! Im trying to get use and control better some techniques that I intend to apply to as much as possible realistic clothes to an object body. Rather than that, at the grey cube one can see a very tiny upper part of the front face to the right. The monkey is NOT the perfect object for this.

It's not so much that retopology fits into hard surface modelling it's more that some hard-surface modelling scenarios and retopology share some common needs. Shrink wrap algorithm affect vertex to surface and not vertex to vertex. I applied Smooth to it as well. What I like of such a wrapper is to cover the mouth i. Then I subdivided both cubes, I distorted a little the front side of the first cube red one and applied the same modifier again. For example, there may be sections of your podcast where the sleeve wont cover the arm entirely to the wrist but - say - the half way from wrist to elbow only… and this should be a situation to avoid, right? But even with high-density meshes, there are some target mesh situations where you have to go in and re-shape the wrapping mesh to better fit the target when wrapping. You only need to have your shrinkwrapped mesh just larger than your target. Always have the object being shrinkwrapped bigger than the target object so it shrinks to the outer surface. The same 'Copy' and 'Apply' process also needs to be done if you find loop-cut-and-slide, vertex-sliding or other modelling tools start to position vertices weirdly. There are holes at top of ear-attachment seam not seen in the pic and video. Richard - Unfortunately, this is NOT the case… I intuitively figured out this may be the problem and I made the grey cube much, much bigger. Abidos Abidos September 5, , am 7. When you're moving the vertices of an object that is Shrinkwrapped, what you're seeing is the vertices moving along the surface of the Shrinkwrap object. One other thing is that the Shrinkwrap modifier should probably be before any Subsurf modifiers you might have on the object.
