The Mesh Boolean in Unreal Engine is not "mathematically robust"...which means it works great on meshes with holes, and even does something sensible when holes intersect! And the Self-Union is very good at cleaning up foldovers created by my minimal-hole-filler...

it's pretty wild how high-res these mesh generators can go now. Even the v3.0 standard is probably too detailed for game use though...needs a low-poly and baked normals. And that vastly complicates 'fixing' any problems...so it's kinda ended up in the same spot as 3D scanning 🤷♂️...

these new video models are pretty good at generating stable turntable clips...will the frames work as input to a standard photogrammetry pipeline? (...)
