Fixing the "A software problem has caused Meshmixer to close unexpectedly" Problem

Image
Anyone who works in the 3D Printing sphere can attest that Meshmixer is an amazing software when it comes to mesh repair, cutting up prints into smaller parts and for adding some last minute digital sculpt alterations to our models. But how would one even get to enjoy what Meshmixer has to offer if it crashes every time you open it? Well, luckily I have found a solution for this! Firstly, make sure you have tried the solutions given in the official Meshmixer FAQ page. If it still doesn't work, then you can try solution number two! From my limited understanding (and scouring of internet forums), the problem could be that we do not  have a graphics card that has built-in OpenGL support.

Digital Sculpting with MeshMixer...

Image
Those of you who have used MeshMixer for mesh repairing purposes must be aware how this software can be used for digital sculpting as well. Well let's just say I went a little crazy with it. The pointy finger hand was obtained from f ree3d.com. Thoughts? You may think it's weird. I call it avant-garde.  Cowboy hat obtained from source      No... I will not be entertaining criticism. 😏 Alright, I did cave in and try to make something more public-friendly. Daddy bear has a lovely pout! To conclude, I had fun working with MeshMixer. I'm definitely going to keep making organic models using the digital sculpting tool, and keep 3D Printing them. :)
