MoI creates beautiful cuts and the converted subD is looks super smooth in render. Following Paul's method from Pilou's link (very roughly) I could remesh the obj that I exported from MoI. That allows sculpting nice damage detail but somehow destroys the smoothness of the original MoI export in curved areas (You can see at the upper right of the "issue" jpg). That is easily fixed by hand smoothing and it is worth the effort in my opinion. But I might just be missing something, I will have to go over the method again and play with settings. I really enjoy the combination of these two programs! ^^

It could be that you're not getting vertex normals coming through but I also seem to remember that the ZBrush display mode by default likes to show polygons like that, maybe there is a display setting for that?

Hi Michael!

You are absolutely correct, Zbrush occasionally displays a more faceted version of the model to improve performance during model rotation and does not do any smoothing between vertex normals according to what I have read.

The images I attached are renders in octane (with smoothing active in the material settings) and I suspect that this is an actual geometry issue due to Zremesher algorithm/settings I used. There are other settings with Zremesher that could potentially work to avoid this issue, but it has nothing to do with MoI's export which is perfect.

And please take everything I say with a grain of salt, I am new to the terminology and the programs and I do not want to appear like I understand more than I actually do. :)
