Merge meshes

vvvv gamma question
1

Hi, I want to merge all the meshes of one model into a single mesh. is it possible?
The result must be a mesh (not a model).
I tried the getMeshes node, but I get either a single mesh or a list of all meshes, but I can´t merge them into a new mesh

I think you get one mesh per material from getmeshes.
try assigning the same material to the ones you need unified.

sebl, they already have the same material

4

then merge them in your 3d software?

5

I need to have both options. I splitted them in my 3d software to use with different textures, but I also want the option of having the whole mesh in order to deform it the way I want

6

the getMeshes node used to have a merge meshes pin, but it´s gone. that´s exactly want I need.
isn´t there any other node that does this?

7

maybe upload a patch here that demonstrates your goal and the problems to achieve that?

i made a simple version of the patch showing the problem.
use the .dae attached to view what is going on.

one option is make something like a ForEach and apply the effect to each one separately, but the best option would be merge all the meshes from the model and apply the effect on it, because I have many other effects and each one has a different way of connecting.

I found a way of doing it. don´t know if it will work with all the effects, but it worked for the first one.
