So, if you have 20 corners that look already decent and two that are sharp, it's not more work than my example. It just requires some thinking how the two work meshes should look like. | |

About my particular problem, I found that If I convert to a mesh with the old bevel and offset active, pure remesh does an okay (if hi-poly) job on it and it is pre-beveled. (though I'm still waiting for the decimate modifier to finish..) Incidentally, would this work on curves with a mix of normal corners as well as sharp ones? | |
| Sep 12, 2013 at 23:08 | comment | added | Haunt_House | If you have a lot of small parts, it gets a bit labor intensive, but basically it's just tweaking the curves. If you don't have to preserve the object origins, the boolean operation can be done in one go, IF it doesn't crash. The best solution is the possible one. So far I don't know of any Addon that handles irregular curve resolutions or boolean type bevelling. Maybe it takes 30 Minutes for a dozen objects, maybe less. Unless you start programming or pay a coder, it's my best bet. | |
