Smart Fill — Quad Hole Filling for Blender (macOS)
blenderVfxMaster
Does it fill every hole?
No. Strong folds, occlusion, irregular topology and unsuitable reference surfaces can still be rejected. Version 0.5 passed 11 of 15 fixed larger-hole regression cases; this is not a universal success guarantee.
Do I need a reference mesh?
A separate complete reference surface is strongly recommended. The optional temporary capped reference is only an approximation and cannot recover missing details. Enhanced surface-chart recovery requires a coincident reference edge loop.
What software and hardware are supported?
This release is tested with Blender 5.2.2 on macOS Apple Silicon. Windows is not supported; Intel macOS and Linux are untested. An external Python backend with NumPy and PyTorch is required.
Does it change my original mesh?
The operation creates a separate preview object. Source vertices and faces remain unchanged. Hide the source to avoid overlapping displays, and inspect the preview before using it.
Are new UVs created automatically?
No. Existing mesh UV and material data are retained in the preview, but newly generated faces need UV work and material review. Modifiers, constraints and animation are not copied.
Is the setup fully self-contained?
No. The add-on includes a backend setup helper, but NumPy, PyTorch and optional Gmsh are separate downloads. See INSTALLATION.txt. No hosted AI subscription is required by the add-on.
