Just what I needed. Perfect tutorial that tells you more than one method if the previous one didn't work.

I am very happy I could share this video with you! 😊

[@badashphilosophy9533]

just a headsup, it looks like u didnt link the texture baking video in your descriiption, nor any other tutorials which presumably you meant to coz u have a tutorials subheading in the description with nothing under it.

[@classoutside]

Thank you for letting me know! I must have forgotten to add these, or save my description if I had updated it. The links should be available now. :)

[@badashphilosophy9533]

New sub here, hi!

[@classoutside]

Hello and welcome! I hope you may find the videos here to be helpful and enjoyable 😊

when i try to download it my antivirus stops me to go to the url it says... so i didnt download it

[@pascaljean2333]

Your antivirus wants you to spend money, these programs are fine.

[@classoutside]

I appreciate you sharing your experience. I have not personally identified any viruses on my personal machine related to this software. Sometimes, antivirus software will operate with the idea "better safe than sorry" and sometimes this can lead to safe programs being flagged as potentially malicious. While when I downloaded it, the software I received I believe is safe, I cannot personally guarantee it, or your individual download of it, are safe.
If you choose not to use this software, I do hope you are able to find an alternative route to any solution you are searching for.

@@classoutside i didnt say about the software but the link to goes to the page you can download it. not github. but the software's link for windows version

[@classoutside]

Thank you for clarifying, I must have misread your comment. If the link to GitHub.com is being stopped by your antivirus, I can say that is surprising. GitHub is a commonly used site owned by Microsoft and should be accessible.
If it is the link on the GitHub page to download the software, i am less familiar with that link. According to the GitHub description you can compile the project yourself with some guidance provided in the README. You could try to compile the repository yourself if you would like access to the software.
This video is intended to assist with fixing holes in meshes that result from using the instant meshes program, not holes that already exist in the mesh when in blender. Is this the solution you are looking for?
