Settings to control mesh density/resolution when generating and exporting 3D objects

I'm using Illustrator to turn some 2D drawings into 3D objects which I export as OBJ/GLTF to other software. The process is really quick and simple, however... I'm having trouble with the total lack of control over the geometry density/resolution of the generated 3D model.

 

I've experimented with increasing the number of anchor points and size of the drawing to see if I would get a 3D model made of more polygons and vertices, but had no success.

 

Is there a proper way to control the generated 3D mesh density?

Hi @borntobeavictor,

 

Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, at the moment, there is no way to directly control the mesh density or resolution when generating and exporting 3D objects in Illustrator. However, we are continuously working on improving our 3D features and taking user feedback into account for future updates.

However, you may try rendering as a wireframe: Select Wireframe in Render Settings to easily edit the 3D properties of the object, such as Depth, Taper, and Twist and see i
