What is the procedure to get from Zephyr to ZBrush?

[treddie]

Hello.

I am going through the typical software learning curve here for Zephyr and ZBrush. I can get a fairly good model out of Zephyr, but when I take it into ZBrush, the app simply hangs when trying to Dynamesh, Close Holes, etc. So basically, I cannot clean up the model in ZBrush, smooth it, or anything. I can import just the mesh into ZBrush and if I delete its UV map, the mesh can be manipulated just fine. But of course, with no UV map, the .png texture is then useless.

There must be a large group out there doing OBJ exports from Zephyr to ZBrush. Can anyone steer me to the proper method?

Many thanks!

Hi treddie!

can you share a mesh where you have the issue with us? I am not aware of any zbrush issue with zephyr import.

If you are in a hurry, i suggest you try to run a retopology filter in zephyr and try again, but we'd appreciate if you could share the model with us so we can see if there is an issue on our side and fix it.

Do you have a Dropbox account (or similar) I can upload to? The file and images is about 1Gb.

Hi treddie,

you're right, my apologies. I remember replying to your email, i am now downloading the dataset and have a look at it today.

I'll get back to you asap.
