Importing your photo as a stencil into Meshmixer

“

- [Instructor] This section is very easy. It's how to get your picture into Meshmixer to be used as a stencil. So no matter what model you have up here, you can go into Sculpt. Make sure the slider up here is on Surface. And underneath Stencils, you can just click on this plus icon. That will bring up a window. And it will usually go to the default Meshmixer install folder, but you can go anywhere you want and select your image. So this was my original, and this was my edited image that's absolutely square. So I'm going to select that and click Open. So now, inside of Stencils, we have a new stencil right here that we can click on and use. Now, the model isn't ready yet. In the next video, I'll talk about how to get a good result when using stencils by adding a little bit more detail to your model.
