Populate a flat surface with a mesh

j_jones · 23 Jul 2022, 03:43

I'm not sure if I'm using the terminology right, but,

I have a flat surface with a texture on it and I would like to automatically, maybe via some plugin or by the sandbox Add Detail add a mesh of triangles to the surface, but I don't seem to be able to.

want to add detail to this surface but can't

There is probably something I am forgetting since I haven't read the docs in a while, but if someone can pass along a clue, I would be grateful.

Thank you

I would first ask what do you want to do with the mesh as it could make a difference how you did it.
However, here is a simple one I made by using sandbox From Scratch, I just made a mesh and exploded it on top of the avo and removed the bits not wanted. This gives a regular grid that doesn't conform to the shape, so it may produce strange results around the borders depending on what you do with it.

get Artisan (start with 30 days trial) - it has all you need
