It's the same problem than Olga: at the first dividing if I don't separate Top and Botom there are crash lines!

Else I have no problem for make deformation or any else transformation :)

Here some sculpt and grid texture Transparent apply (*15 H&V) on the divided mesh above

Hi Pilou, what are "crash lines" ? You mean some spikes that kind of shoot across the model?

I saw those too if using the "Smt" modifier, looks like it may be a bug in ZBrush.

To solve it turn the "Smt" modifier off before you do the divide.

Aaaaaaaaaah!
"With SMT Button pressed mesh will be Smoothed then Divided"
Forgot this damned button (that arrive with this Boeing's Interface :)
All is fine! :)
So export from moi to Zbrush is cool in OBJ format for some crazzy sculptures

PS So my trick was useful but unnecessary :)

Hi Pilou,

> "With SMT Button pressed mesh will be Smoothed then Divided"

Yes - it looks like ZBrush has some kind of bug in the smoothing process, looks like it may have to do with processing polygons that have a high valence vertex in them. That's a vertex that has a large number of edges radiating out from it, which is the case in pole points like that.

Vertices with a high valence can have some difficulties in certain smooth subdivision schemes.

So turning off the smoothing process avoids the problem in ZBrush.

Very informative thread.

In ZBrush if you turn on Polyframe while using Dynamesh you can see that the mesh is made up of quads and triangles.

Here's a cutlass made in MoI and imported into ZBrush using the method previously outlined.

Cool link Colin, Thanks!

This method is also excellent for bringing MoI models into 3D-Coat for voxel sculpting!
