combine meshes to continuous mesh
I'm trying to combine several meshes of a low poly model to be better able to UV-unwrap. There are more than 100 small meshes scattered over one large mesh. See this screen (part of the whole thing): I would like to have one continuous mesh with somewhat decent topology to only have one UV-island in the end. I have tried… -
Re: combine meshes to continuous mesh
Thank you for all the suggestions! I see the benefit of using macro normals, but I still haven't given up on the idea of one continuous mesh for grout and tiles. I have found a cool script for blender that automatically vertices at the intersection between two meshes. I'm trying to find a way to use that along with clever… -
Re: combine meshes to continuous mesh
it took me a while, but I managed to get a continuous mesh like I wanted. I ended up using a boolean operation to fuse tiles and grout. I had to clean up afterwards manually, that why I reduced the tile number to 42 (from 180). The overall process was this: - sculpt hp meshes of ~15 tiles - set up particle system to place… -

imgur has deleted a lot of images. If you google search a thread title from polycount, sometimes google images will have cached images from the thread. -
Re: combine meshes to continuous mesh
Damn, it's 2024 and the link is broken, anybody that can explain this trick? or is just a simple tiled normal map with random colors? O_O will experiment with this meanwhile, gold stuff -
Re: combine meshes to continuous mesh
Restored the images for you. They were using http: instead of https: and this became a problem recently because our forum host thought all images MUST use https: which is fucking stupid but that's what they're forcing on us. :( -
Re: combine meshes to continuous mesh
yeah the first one is a module but is made to tile if u cut the bordes, i did this in max and here is the result. -
Re: combine meshes to continuous mesh
Thank you for your replies! I would agree with you for modern, well-kept roofs. However, I am going for an old, rundown look. I tried the regular, repeating pattern and it just doesn't look right. -
Re: combine meshes to continuous mesh
If you want to break up tiling, doing it with the textures is typically a better approach. Tile roofs like that are very regular in real life, adding more variation and for for no reason is a bit silly. If you still want to add a few skewed ones, make it tiled first, and then randomly tweak a few tiles by hand. -

Maybe this can help u in some way, Breakdown - Roof Hope this helps.
