Aloha Callum, My name is Bryson and I am a “huge" fan of your RUclips channel. I have been watching your videos for inspiration, as well as, generalized information regarding how to effectively utilize Meshmixer for clinical application. I am currently an occupational/hand therapist who completed my doctoral capstone project utilizing "3D printing in hand therapy." At this time, I was wondering if you would be willing to speak with me regarding some of your expertise relating to 3D scanning and the Meshmixer software for orthotic fabrication/designing. Currently, I am utilizing 3D printing technology to outreach to rural areas to ensure all patients have equal access to quality healthcare services. With that in mind, I would truly honor your valued expertise in this forever-growing field of technology. I truly appreciate your time and consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! Kind regards, Bryson
Thanks:) to apply the text in a different orientation you should just be able to move the camera angle, although it's not always the easier to control. So you might find it easier to rotate the model via the transform tool (edit >> transform).
Followed all the way until you first embedded the text. How did you do that? I click and have a round brush that smooths area out more. Don't know how to drop it on the model.
Great video but am struggling to get it to work, i follow all the steps but when i go to left click to add my png file it does nothing, nothing appears on the file, what am i doing wrong ?
The threshold is not applicable, so you wont be able to change it, that won't be the problem though. So are you currently unable to get a high density mesh? Or is there something else you are struggling with?
@@CallumColes I got the .5 micron mesh. but when i apply the emboss it looks like it decreases the mesh. I'll try an take some screen shots maybe that will help.
I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem but when remeshing the area to 0.05 my progress bar just stops at 14/30. It acts like its still loading but nothing happens after hours of waiting and I cannot cancel or exit out of Meshmixer. My computer doesn't even pull up the "app isn't responding" window.
Hmm, that's annoying, it is pretty computationally expensive so will put a PC through its paces. Perhaps try a slightly higher number? Meshmixer can be a bit buggy, so sometimes it is worth doing a few passes (of successively higher mesh count) and exporting the file each time in case it crashes.
Hi Jan, did you follow the process in the video which shows how to increase the number of polygons in the section of the model where you want to add text? Increasing the number of polygons is needed to ensure a sharp stamp can be added.
Meshmixer has not been updated since 2018, so should not be any reason why this does not work for you if you have the latest version installed. Which step are you struggling with?

Hi Bryson, thanks for the comment, feel free to drop me an email (visible on profile)
This is great but what if you want to REMOVE lettering or a symbol from an uneven or even textured CURVED surface?
OMG!!!! This is perfect! I can only press the like button once, but Id hit it 100 times if I could. I have trying to do this by hand for weeks!!
You’re welcome😊 feel free to subscribe
Great vid! How would you rotate the text for example if you wanted it to be located in a different way?

I lowered the Edge Length to .20mm and started getting a remesh. I shut off sculpt-> enable refinement

If you rewatch the steps from 2:40, you will see where the exact stamp is added. Give me a shout if you run into any issues
nice tutorial
Thanks 😁
Great video but am struggling to get it to work, i follow all the steps but when i go to left click to add my png file it does nothing, nothing appears on the file, what am i doing wrong ?
Tremendo, lo voy a probar. Gracias 🙂
You’re welcome😊
only problem is the stamp is limited in size. I can only add up to a certain size.
Im watching this thinking his voice sounds familiar, then I saw the 3D Tomorrow lol Nice video mate
Haha thanks bud, glad you liked it:)
thanks for the video. but i cant get it to work. one thing i noticed is i can't change the Threshold to 100 or the sharp threshold like yours.

@@CallumColes I got it . I unchecked enable refinement
@@markb9580 thank you!!!! this is the answer!!!!

@@CallumColes Thank you! Very informative video btw, very easy to follow
@@stewsc9 no problem, thanks for the comment:)
Does it matter the size of the text??
and or the font type?
When I have selected an area on the bunny, as in the video, nothing happens when I choose remesh.
Are you sure nothing is happening? Have you pressed the 'W' key so you can see the details of the mesh?
It doesnt work for me. it wont give me a sharp text. i tried it on the bunny. some help?
Hi Jan, did you follow the process in the video which shows how to increase the number of polygons in the section of the model where you want to add text? Increasing the number of polygons is needed to ensure a sharp stamp can be added.
@@CallumColes What if I already have the file with high polygons? Do I need to add even higher amounts to get the text to be nice a legible?
@@Klaymour28 try it as is, if it doesn’t produce a sufficiently detailed stamp, then undo and add more triangles to the area.
@@CallumColes I have tried that, and it still comes out all misformed and mostly unreadable
@@Klaymour28 okay so if it’s not working with your model as is you’ll have to increase the triangle count further. It’s the bit in the video @2:10.
I dont know what i am doing wrong i just keep on getting a mess not anything that resembles to logo followed the video step by step
I suspect will need to increase the mesh count further if the detail is not sufficient
@@CallumColes thanks working like perfectly
does not work in the current mesh mixer version

you glossed over the most important bit. Bringing in the image.
