Hello, im dabling into 3d printing and i know all surfaces must be "closed" for it.

so i was wondering if theres a quick easy way to join two surfaces that have different amount of vertices in their intersection.

Pic related is an example. Even if i sliced the cilinder i would have to create a lot of vertices to the plane because if not they cant match up.

any way to make this quick or will i have to slave away for hours every time i have to join a surface?

Booleans.

but it will make a continuos surface?

How can you use such an archaic software like 3DS MAX?

Industry standard. Get fucked, breadless "artist"

Yes, but you might get errors because of the lack of geometry in one surface

so if you really want to make a clean model for 3d printing you basically still have to comb the whole model manually to make sure it joins seamlessly

maybe if you're using a buggy implementation... as long as your input meshes are watertight, the output will be too. This might mean making the plane a into a block and then deleting the rest of the block afterwards, because the boolean operator needs to know what's "inside" and "outside".
