If you have a numeric keypad then just select the object in the outliner and press the keypad comma button. However often people think an object has imported really small but in fact it has just imported off screen. In this case object->Set Origin->Geometry to origin will work. In the unusual cae that the object has not imported with the origin in the center then first do object->Set Origin->origin to 3d cursor

I just exported this to stl just to check and it comes out at 117MB. Until slicers add subdvisions into their calculations then the only way to get smooth surfaces on organic models is to have LOTS of geometry. You can make sure to reduce it where you don't need it e.g. the belt on this model is a separate object with very few vertices as is the belt bag she is wearing. If you need to keep tabs on how many triangles you have you can turn on statistics in the viewport overlay drop down menu. This model has 2.5 million triangles :/

@@notverygoodguy Thank you very much! That helps a lot.

Wow, is it three years already. I need to update these things :) Glad it was useful!

Need more details if you can. The shape shouldn't matter, a capsule should be just as good as a heart. Can you say at which point it is failing?

Great to hear. Thanks for the feedback.

Great to hear. Hope you enjoy your journey!

Very pleased to hear it. Thanks for the feedback.

You might be right about that. Probably should make the base bigger really.

Can you explain your problem with a little more detail?

Thank you :)1

Good spot, it isn't too clear is it. Actually, the issue with the dress error of it being a big hole underneath is created because of the the mask modifier I used to stop her body poking through her clothes. This is a reasonable option and I show how to close this if you want to go that way but I choose to fix the poking through the clothes problem with sculpting instead of the mask modifier. Removing the mask modifier removes the issue of her being hollow under the dress. Later use of the solidify modifier allows everything to be printable though adds to the supports needed in the slicer. Hope this clarifies it a bit.

For most people it doesn't. Do you have a load of subdivisions or really high vertex count on your model some other way?

This can happen if the hollow of the model intersects with the outside. If you can provide a link to your blend file I'll take a look.

You certainly can ask. Older versions of Blender didn't have the single vert option and so just merging all at center works for everyone. People delete the default cube simply because usually they want to start with something else. They get so used to it that they delete it even if they actually do want to start with a cube. Also it is easier to delete the camera and lights if you just select everything and delete it at the start. That said you can set the default scene to anything you like in the preferences.

Thank you for your kind words. It is feedback like this that makes it worthwhile. I do realise I haven't done a new video in a while but I have a long list and will get back to it soon :)

I keep forgetting how to do things too :)

A lot depends on luck. If the parts are all aligned you can simply select all the parts and join them with CTRL J. This will likely leave you with internal walls but your slicer might cope with that if you are 3d printing but if you are texturing or animating you will probably run into trouble. If the parts are not aligned you almost certainly won't have a magic button to align them and will just have to move the parts into position yourself. Turning snapping on will help but not a lot.

@@notverygoodguy oh thank you, actually this wouldn't be to print all together, no reason to join or worry with internal walls. I just like to assemble sometimes to have the full size of figure when the artist doesn't show this info, or to create or enlarge connect pins for these parts and things like that. But later I would still print those parts separated. Thank you for the reply!

I have the newest blender version as of 2024

@@devin-x2w There have been lots of Blender versions in 2024. Are you getting errors downloading charmorph from github as shown in the video or are you getting your error during a different step? I just tried it on Blender 4.1.1 and it seems OK.

@@notverygoodguy I have blender 4.3.1 and I've tried downloading the newest char morph version 0.3.5 ( the newest version) and every time, it will send an error code

@@notverygoodguy it says error extracting archive / is a directory and I've tried with all three files that are available for download

@@devin-x2w You only need the zip file. Can you tell me exactly which version of blender you are using and I'll test this myself. Thanks for the heads up.

It could be that or it could be that the inside walls intersect with the outside walls. That's fixable but you have to find where vertices intersect and separate them

@ I think the issue is that it doesn’t encase any empty space it’s basically two separate pieces that don’t have any walls but the pieces don’t have volume so it’s not a solid

@@starchaserstudios3752 Remember that a manifold model that only has outside walls is in fact, a solid model. At least it is from a 3d printing perspective.

Glad you liked it!

Thanks.

Glad to hear it :)

Sadly not that I am aware of. It's quite basic.

@@notverygoodguy alright thanks for replying.

The most common reason for a problem here is either incorrect normals somewhere in the mode or the model isn't correctly hollowed. If any part of the hollow intersects with the outside of the model then this won't work. If this is the case you do have the option of selecting all the vertices of the outside manually. That said, can you explain at one point you have the problem and what do you mean by "a shell of itself"

I wish I could make all of them this short. Makes editing much easier :)

The modifier can take ages if you already have a lot of vertices and an older computer without enough RAM and in extreme cases can crash.

You could try this. th-cam.com/video/7-aUbGw8Sz4/w-d-xo.html

Really good to hear!

Thanks for the feedback. I do have a series for people new to blender which I have sorely neglected for a while but will get back to that soon.

I look forward to your video!

It's been a month, and this tuur guy still hasn't made a video explaining it in under a minute.

@@DJR_1999 I'm still waiting :)

This is likely to be an issue with the rig you are creating. Would it be possible to provide a link to your blend file. I would be interested to look at it.

@@notverygoodguy I could send the file to your email?

Sounds like it is a model with a hole in it rather than a hollow model which might sound like its the same thing but actually isn't. It also sounds like the hole intersects with the outside walls which is why the inside gets selected with the outside. One thing you could try if you are patient is to go into edit mode and try to select everything you see with the circle select brush (press c and adjust the size of the circle with the mouse wheel) select as much as you can and then hide it with h (you might need to right click to come out of circle select first). If there is still more outside that needs selecting repeat the process until you are left with just the inside hole of the model. Finally do ALT-H to get the hidden parts back. They should still be all selected so go ctrl i to invert the selection. This should now select everything except the parts you selected before i.e. the inside and delete these vertices with x, vertices. Take a copy of your model first of course. Hope this works!

@@notverygoodguy It's a hollow model with drainage holes in. I've filled the drainage holes in with cylinders in 3D builder but it still doesn't seem to be recognising any of the internal topography.

@@kingfluff8065 Hmm in this case does it even matter that it has holes in it? It will likely print anyway. That said, it sounds like your only other option is to select all the vertices on the outside of your model and separate them from the rest of the model and I described above. This might require a lot of patience though. If you have a link to the model I would be interested to take a look at it.

You're very kind. Thank you.

Thank you :)

Have you remembered to increase the "Pose IK segments" to 3 in the brush settings?

Maybe I would if I put more effort in :)

@@notverygoodguysir do you have any tik tok account?

Pleased to be able to help!

If you haven't started exactly at the center of the world this will happen. Try doing SHIFT C before you start or grab the first vertx you made and move it along the x or y axis until the hole closes.

​@@notverygoodguywill try thanks for the quick reply

Still had a hole unfortunately. managed to get around it by selecting bottom faces and pressing 'f' to fill it in right before the final subdivision surface. Great Video and keep it up !

@@jasonborgmillo7482 Strange but glad you found a solution :)

You are too kind :)

Great to hear. Thanks!

I know it's bad isn't it. I will be getting back to it soon!

Me? Not much but some people do.

@notverygoodguy oh sad Just now i am starting a channel hoping to get some pocket money someday

You have to start somewhere. It is a marathon not a sprint :)

@@3dprintmonster Good luck!

Excellent! Glad it was helpful.

Well he was an awesome cat :)
