Dynamesh-with-polygroups inconsistent results

Hey everyone,

So when you dynamesh with the Polygroups option turned on (and polypaint turned off), dynamesh is supposed to maintain your polygroups. I got that. However, what happens sometimes is that the result is one contiguous mesh that retains my polygroups and sometimes it creates a new mesh such that every polygroup becomes separate, non-contiguous meshes. And I can’t figure out what is causing it to behave one way or the other. Anyone know?

Hello @ryankittleson

This is the behavior when the “Groups” button in the dynamesh menu is pressed. Dynamesh will preserve polygroups (to the best of its ability) by default without this option active.

Something that can be confusing when observing dynamesh behavior, is that it won’t actually update your mesh unless you have made some change to it, no matter how small, like a single brush stroke. Also remember Ctrl-Z undoes Dynamesh setting changes as well.
