Is there a way to wrap mesh around a surface?
A shrinkwrap modifier can help with wrapping this created skin mesh around surfaces. You can also edit all the pieces to be water-tight and manifold and then use Blender’s booleans to unify them together. I made a good quality shape..
How to wrap multiple 3D objects around a UV sphere?
Select your UV sphere and press Shift + S -> Cursor to Selected. Using Shift + A add a Curve -> Circle. Scale this up so it is slightly larger than the UV sphere, than rotate it on whatever axis: In my case, I used R > Y > 9 0. Now select your mesh, the person in this case. Under the Properties panel, Modifiers tab, add a Curve modifier.
Can You Wrap mesh around other meshes in Blender?
Blender does not have automated skinning tools to make a wrapped mesh around other (intersecting/non-manifold/etc..) meshes. You want to voxelize such meshes, add all the volumes together and turn the volume back to a mesh. You will find this functionality in programs like Zbrush or Houdini.
How to evenly distribute points on the surface of a sphere?
How to distribute points on the surface of a sphere as evenly as possibly is an incredibly important problem in maths, science and computing, and mapping the Fibonacci lattice onto the surface of a sphere via equal-area projection is an extremely fast and effective approximate method to achieve this.
How to conform a mesh ontop of another mesh?
A few loop cuts to improve its ability to bend. You need to get rid of the vertices in the middle, or the geometry does strange things when applying the shrinkwrap. Then you give the circle a shrinkwrap modifier. Modifiers -> Shrinkwrap Set the body as the target, change the offset to the smallest amount that doesn’t clip through.
Can a mesh be converted to a Metaball?
The denser the geometry, the smaller the metaballs can be and the smaller the inflation. Convert metaballs to mesh and then you can shrink the mesh to maintain the original volume.
