Hey all,
I am trying to find vertices that are ‘inside’ a mesh object.
For example, I have a mesh with 4 faces and I need to find the index of the vert that is on the inside. (Pardon the crude example) I need to automatically find vertex 3 And how would I be able to find it in 3d space?

Thanks for your help
You could calculate a convex hull and dismiss all vertices that are not part of it.

Those algorithms are rather complicated and slow unfortunately.
quick trickery:
copy the $object1 to $object2
push (modifier) it inwards 1% ($object2)
assign a volume select mod to the obj u wanna check ($object1)
use the copied object for volume ($object2)
change selection type to vertices ($object1.mod)
then get the selected verts from the $object1.mesh
