Meshing issues [Answered]

I am having problems with meshing mannequins. The mesh does not lay a skin on but rather creates balls at thicker places like the joints but does not continue and leaves parts of the mannequin unchanged at all. Its probably me being really stupid but can anyone help?

I hadn’t realised that you can actually use Dynamesh with mannequins to get the same result rather more quickly:

Load a mannequin and press ‘A’ to preview the mesh.
Press Tool>Geometry>Dynamesh.
Press Tool>Make Polymesh3D to create a copy to sculpt.

You could then press ‘A’ again to leave mesh preview and return to the mannequin, allowing you to create a new pose if you wanted.
