Clean up high poly scans in Blender 3

3D scans start out super ugly! Let's patch those holes and make our models manifold so that we can execute boolean operations and 3D print the results.

I like that this went over some somewhat advanced topics (for newbies) yet still mentioned the keystrokes. A lot of beginner tuts will just say what to do with a presumption of shared knowledge. I like a tut to presume I know nothing more than basic 3D movement.

To make a clean cut off of unwanted pieces I use the bisect tool which also generates a closed and flat edge loop.

Thank you so much for this. I have been searching for days trying to figure this type of thing out. Still a blender n00b!

thanks dude, this helps a lot, would you consider doing any more videos on these?

Excelent video!! especially that the decimate modifier is not connect the texture and that you have to use the geometry decimate in mesh edit mode. Timesaver for me Thanks.

When I double click on an edge, it doesn't do anything except select the one tiny edge I was highlighting....even if I have 30 edges in a straight line. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I'm on Blender 4.x.
