I read in ZBrush Docs that -
“All existing PolyGroups from your original model or inserted meshes will be preserved when applying DynaMesh to the model”
and this seemed to be the case at first. But now it’s suddenly stopped retaining them - I end up with a single group.
Are there any known limitations to this behaviour?
This usually only happens if you use the group visible button in the polygroups panel. or is you mask it all and then use group masked. otherwise it shouldnt happen.
thanks digi - I’ll take a look
sorry for the late reply - email notfications seems a little flakey… =/
hi Digi, or anyone else that reads this!
I’ve found the answer - it depends whether or not you have polypainting on the mesh. If you do, and have the brush icon highlighted on the subtool, dynamesh will retain the polypaint but not polygroups. Turn the brush icon off and you keep the groups (but not the paint)
