In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the importance of knowing how to cut up 3D files for cosplay or prop making in 3D printing. They introduce a new method in Meshmixer, a free 3D software, to cut up 3D files creatively and efficiently. The presenter demonstrates how to use this method to separate different parts of a 3D file for customization, using an example of modifying an Iron Man chest plate model. They emphasize the differences in modeling techniques among different creators and how to work around them. The presenter showcases the process in Meshmixer, showing how to separate sections of a 3D model for more complex customization, such as splitting the chest plate into three pieces.

In this segment of the video, the speaker demonstrates how to use various tools in a 3D modeling software to cut out a triangular V-shaped part from a model. They start by using the “generate face groups” feature to select smoother edges, then extract and clone the selected part using the “extract” and “offset” tools. Next, they extrude the cloned part to give it thickness and separate it from the original model using the “separate shells” function. The process involves manipulating the extrusion thickness and positioning the copied part before cutting out the desired shape from the original model.

In this part of the video, the speaker demonstrates how to modify a 3D object using mesh mixer. They show how to separate specific parts of the object, delete unwanted elements using Boolean operations, cut out parts, and ensure a perfect fit by repositioning the components. The speaker advises on how to handle remaining floating remnants, run analysis and repair any errors. The process may involve trial and error, creative cutting, scaling, and aligning parts for proper fit. Additionally, the speaker discusses the need for manual adjustments when achieving the desired shape. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of experimenting with cutting and combining different parts to extract specific shapes from the object.

In this part of the video, the creator explains how they are cutting and separating the upper AB section into left, right, and center pieces. They use a plane cut to separate the sections and then combine the left and right sides. They repeat the process for the lower AB section, making two cuts to free up the sides. By extracting, extruding, and scaling the parts, they ensure a precise fit and alignment before combining the pieces. The focus is on creating multiple sections with careful attention to details for a seamless finish.
