The part about separating the objects seems useful, as for the name of the video, eh.. export as obj, import as obj, not rocket science, thought there might be more information on the export/import options.. coulda summed up the export import part in about 10 seconds though..

Does ZBrush understand Creased edges from Maya ? Do you know ?

[@CuriousTraderMindset]

Marcus Böetius Immerkær von Keil that is correct. You just need to export your models through the goZ. Or you can use the maya ascii files. Zbrush reads maya ascii as well

[@rudrashivagaming4377]

Hi, when I export the model to zbrush, it gets deformed after remesh even after putting supporting loops. Any idea how to fix this?

[@CuriousTraderMindset]

It is most likely a re-mesh setting. Make sure the mesh is not to thin. The tolerance setting will control how many polygons will be used. Its hard to say what it is if i don't see what you are doing.

[@rudrashivagaming4377]

@@CuriousTraderMindset I tried bevel tool and used two different algorithms of remesh in Zbrush by pressing alt, with every try model details gets bad. I can upload a video if that helps.

[@CuriousTraderMindset]

@@rudrashivagaming4377 sure you can upload a video and send link to me

[@simmahigneel7395]

I have to ask, because I've done this about a hundred different ways. I am developing an overwhelming hatred for Zbrush. I import the object, no issues. Get it on the board, no issues. Attempting to scratch up anything to give any form of look, it pulls on the vertices and for the love of God I don't know why. What am I doing?

[@JSG-mw4qr]

Lol I took a break from zbrush to focus on 2d art for a while using photoshop. I just recently got back into zbrush and holy crap the interface is terrible. I dont know how I was ever so comfortable in zbrush, it's so counter intuitive.

[@taylorkemp3436]

You want to dynamesh your model. That will give it more polys making it easier to work with.

How to import from Zbrush to MAYA After editing?

[@CuriousTraderMindset]

You can use goZ or import object format in maya. Make sure the obj plug-in is installed in maya,then click on file import abd yoi should be able to kmport the obk that you have exported out from zbrush

Do I detect a slight South African accent to your voice?

[@CuriousTraderMindset]

Thats correct. Well spotted.😁

[@Domzdream]

@@CuriousTraderMindset I'd know hehehe, I grew up in sunny SA, but now I live in the UK, the last 15 years or so. Thanks for the Zbrush tips. It's good to be back on Zbrush.
