Hi i tried using dynamesh and insertmesh with layers and no luck. how come they dont work with layers? is there a way to make them work with layers?
Hello there,
If I had to take a guess, I would say that these functions don’t work because they add and change vertices, which would alter the very data layers seem like they would be heavily dependent upon. If you bake the layers down first, then you should be free to use dynamesh
basically is there a way to make a new layer with dynamesh on or with a insertmesh?
You can make a new layer with Dynamesh on, or on a mesh that has had another inserted.
You can not dynamesh or use an insert brush on a mesh that already has existing layers. You could bake the layers down and then dynamesh / insert.
If you wanted to preserve the layers:
- You could duplicate the current tool, and use the insert brush to add to that. When you’re happy with the insertions, isolate those polygroups and delete the rest (Tool: Geometry: Modify Topology/ Del Hidden). Go back to the original subtool, set all of it’s layer strengths to 0, and then merge it down with the insertions (Tool: Subtool: Merge / Merge Down)
- For transfering layers over to a mesh that has been retopologized such as through dynamesh, you might need to try duplicating the tool, turn off any layers, and dynamesh/retopologize that. Then you’ll have to create new layers, and try projecting each layer over one at a time with Tool: Subtool: Project / Project All
ok i got dynamesh to work on layers which is cool. do u or anyone know if u can do that with insert brush like u can without dynamesh?
