Carve fails on millions of polys #34

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. load two 2 million poly meshes into Blender
2. attempt a union Boolean

My machine has 8GB of RAM, but my memory appears to be tapped out when 
attempting this Boolean, and Blender hangs indefinitely.

Has Carve been tested on meshes, like scan data, that have many millions of 
polys?

The question is old, nevertheless I will share my experience. I am using carve 
on scan data (Kinect Fusion to be more precise). The outputs have around 2 
million vertices. Carve is able to perform the boolean operations on the 
condition that the meshes do not have self-intersections or co-planer 
triangles. Before using Carve, I'd correct these issues using softwares such as 
netfabb.

Hope this helps.
