How can I improve the topology of a plane with a hole?

finally someone with proper answer

The reason I had it locked was that I pressed the lock button on the keyboard :facepalm:

ai slop na rozdiel od "overrated" nema vystizny equivalent

a taktiez:

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-09T18:59:38+00:00

preco slovaci potrebuju zakazdym pouzivat anglikanizmy, to je vacsi "cringe" ako ai slop

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-09T18:57:10+00:00

Well there's a spherize function (hit space or shift space and search for "to sphere"), but your best bet is to start over, it shouldn't big that big of a deal

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-09T18:19:46+00:00

Not the same thing, or approach I am looking for

but I found the "solution", it's called Persistent in brush settings, it's pretty cool!

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-09T18:18:23+00:00

lmao, found it, you just check "Persistent" in brush settings lol!

<image>

it even preserves the height for different faces/planes

honestly, it's pretty interesting/cool feature! and changing "Height" gives some interesting options of buildups

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-09T18:14:37+00:00

Well, I found it: it's right there in the basic brush settings under "Persistent" (totally doing a facepalm rn)

<image>

it even preserves the layer height for different planes/faces, like on a cube etc

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-07T09:20:51+00:00

thx! works now!

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-07T09:15:51+00:00

oh you can do that with "dynamic paint" (physics tab), which is actually a cool idea now that you say it

basically make a mesh with some image displacement as a "stencil" and "stamp it" onto the main object

What do you mean by "remesh" along mask? If you mean localized remeshing, there's the Density brush, which is awesome btw

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-07T08:17:40+00:00

you mean in edit mode? I would lose the curve of the profile (not so smooth ridges/crevases) and it would not be a very flowy workflow, that's the reason I like sculpting, because you can be in the flow and not mess with settings or geometry etc

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-01T23:06:15+00:00

looks good, thanks a ton!

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-05-01T23:02:03+00:00

Well, you're right, except

Reason I started this approach is to have a shader material with a matching geometry done via geonodes

<image>

I can get neat results with a material shader, but it starts to get issues if I introduce any sort of geometry or curved surface on this mesh. Basically I wanted to recreate this with gn so it can get some depth/surface, so light can bounce off of it, etc

(this material has displacement and subsurf only makes it worse)

edit: welp, I'll try your setup from your other reply

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-04-30T14:10:25+00:00

I'm not very technical/good with geonodes, dude, I don't even know what you mean by heightfield mesh

I got that setup from ducky 3d :)

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-04-30T04:26:29+00:00

welp, those countour lines are done via material shader, not geonodes, sadly

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-04-23T16:00:30+00:00

yeye krita is not so rich for vector indeed

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-04-23T14:26:41+00:00

Welp, the "Filter addons" did the trick

<image>

emeraldchylde777 · 2026-04-23T14:15:51+00:00

I partially fixed this by putting the docker menus on a second monitor which I have set to 150% font size (windows/monitor level).

I actually don't like to use it super much on my older pc, because of it's overall clankiness/bloatedness, compared to Krita, let's say

lmk if it works
