Description
1.4.1 New Optimize for animation If you want to animate your WIP design – tick this box to temporarily disable all shrinkwrap modifiers, set all subdivision modifier levels to 1, and set your texture quality to 128The Guide Mesh <> Final Mesh Editor is a valuable tool for hard surface modelers who rely on this technique but are looking for a less destructive, more concept modeling-friendly approach. Originally built as a simple script intended to edit both Guide Mesh and Final Mesh at the same time, it is progressively evolving into a suite of useful shortcuts and presets that should help you generate panel gaps, vents, and other simultaneous transform and edit operations.

Surface with cutline: without and with shrinkwrap modifier on

Why did I create this addon?

After watching the CGMasters tutorial and using the famous Shrinkwrap modifier regularly, I realized that the process was not entirely optimized for concept designers working on work-in-progress designs, where proportions and details are not necessarily set in stone from the beginning. Although Booleans remain the quickest way to create cutouts, they are known for being inconsistent and can mess up your topology. That’s why I decided to create an add-on that makes the tutorial compatible with WIP designs, allowing for quick iterations while maintaining detailed surfaces and without any topology issues. Here is a comparison table between the different workflows available:

What does the script do?

It provides you a set of useful shortcuts available via a Pie Menu, which facilitate simultaneous on-the-go editing, retrofitting or readjustment of both the Guide Mesh and Final Mesh.

Is it easy to use?

Although the script requires a little time to adapt, it is a very straight forward pie menu (CTRL+Shift + Q) which offers you a bunch of functions that all revolve around the same goal: to make your life easier while working on WIP design of yours.

Typical worfklow?

(It is still good to keep the habit to work on your guide mesh for as long as you can)
Setup your Guide Mesh / Final Mesh relationship
Begin detailing your Final Mesh
Tweak both meshes with Dual Mesh Edit. Either use the lasso selection tool to pick overlapping geometries, or use “Select Matching Geometries” if you are focusing on one mesh at a time
Create panel gaps and shutlines’ bevels using the Bevel Weight shortcut
If there is some mismatch between your meshes, use ‘Autosnap’ (available in Dual Mesh Edit Mode) or Snap’Adjust (available in Object Mode)
Backup and Bake your Final Mesh

FEATURES

A simple pie Menu
The script consists of a simple pie activated with CTRL + SHIFT + Q. In both Object Mode and Edit Mode, some functions are actually sub-menus.

Guide Mesh <> Final Mesh Setup
Start the Guide Mesh <> Final Mesh setup either from one or two existing meshes. The script will: rename the meshes, add the required modifiers and vertex groups, parent them and assign them to their respective collections. It will also make the Guide Mesh invisible in Render Mode, and display it in wireframe.
