Step 3 Optimize Model in Meshmixer

Step 3 in a tutorial on creating a skull model from a head CT using free software. This video explains how to optimize your 3D file using Meshmixer, primarily through reduction and smoothing.

Ayy thank you man, this is really useful for changing topologically optimised models into something useful

Any recommendations if smoothing does not succeed in eliminating all bumps/irregularities?

[@justincramer9557]

Honestly I'm finding it easier to optimize and tweak my model in 3D slicer - it can do smoothing also, and it's easier to fill in holes. I mainly use Meshmixer for plane cut (can't get a totally smooth cut in 3D slicer) and adding dowels to fit things together.

@@justincramer9557 I'll keep working on improving my Slicer Skills. Thanks for answering so quickly. These tutorials are awesome!

hi, i'm using the inspector tool but instead of filling in the part, i delete it

[@justincramer9557]

Hard to know exactly what the problem is. I will say I hardly ever use hole fill in Meshmixer because it can be difficult. I prefer to just fill in holes while I'm segmenting in Slicer.
