In this article, we are going to directly use the Blender modifiers to create an aesthetic costume lattice structure in Blender . But, as we have said before, the purpose of creating these kinds of lattice structures is art and aesthetics, because the end result is more stochastic rather than deterministic. We start with adding a simple shape like a cube, cylinder, or cone and use modifiers to change the formation of the mesh, then use the Wireframe modifier to make a lattice form out of our mesh, after that, by using other modifiers like Multiresolution or smooth, we post-process our design. Using Blender Modifiers to Create A Lattice Structure In this 3rd part of our tutorial, we are going to directly use the Blender modifiers to create an aesthetic costume lattice structure but as we have said before the purpose of creating this kind of lattice structure is art and aesthetics, because the end result is more stochastic rather than deterministic. We start with...

In this article, we are going to design a scientific and accurate kind of lattice structure for a cube or other geometrical 3D shapes using Blender . The difference between a scientific and an aesthetic lattice structure is that in a scientific lattice structure we need accurate dimensions as opposed to aesthetic lattice structures where beauty is the priority. We use different methods for modeling the 2 kinds of lattice structures. An introduction to Internal Lattice Structure Internal lattice structures are used for many different purposes. And there are many ways to design them in Blender or Meshmixer software, one of which is to use wireframes which gives you a low-quality lattice structure even if you utilize the modifier. It would mostly be useful for artistic purposes meaning that you cannot precisely determine the size of the holes and channels and the whole object itself. We usually design our lattice structures this way when we want some aesthetics in o...

One of the things that will make you fed up with Boolean modifiers in Blender is the non-manifold output. Unfortunately, there is no robust way to cover this issue. However, we can create a tool that can fix most (if not all) of the problematic meshes. This tool helps us fix non-manifold meshes in Blender. Creating A Tool to fix Non-Manifold Meshes in Blender In the photo below, you can see an example of a non-manifold result that appeared as a result of a Boolean difference of another cube from this one. If you apply another Boolean operation on this object, you will see that the object gets fully destroyed. Python Scripts In the scripts below we will get benefit from the functions that will eventually create a standard mesh that is the result of remeshing from triangular meshes to voxel-based meshes and also removing the non-manifold meshes. import bpy import bmesh import math #################################################################### #...

This tutorial covers most (if not all) of the problems concerning the Boolean union of multiple objects in Blender . If you have worked with a Boolean modifier in Blender more than just a try, you must have faced the circumstances in which the result of union would have been a non-manifold mesh or you have wanted to Boolean union a great number of objects and you have ended up with a simple modifier that only does the Boolean union only for a couple of objects that you wouldn’t be sure if the result of the union would have non-manifold mesh or not. This article guides you with different ways to solve this issue. Boolean Union of Multiple Objects in Blender Suppose you have a lot of cubes that you want them all to merge into one object, if the number of cubes is n, you will have to apply the Boolean union modifier n-1 times, which takes a lot of time. You may use the Python Blender API and do this job in a loop. This solution is OK until you face with the non-manifold resul...
