Help! Surface gets a lot of *noise' after using zModelr-Edge-Bridege

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I have model with an outer and inner shell.
When I bridge the gap between shells the surface gets a lot of noise.
I cant figure out what’s going wrong.
Any ideas why this happens and any suggestions for another approach that works better.

EDIT:

I have found a workaround using Curve Bridge tool.
I’m still interested of help with the problem as
using Curve Bridge is more work than just clicking two edges.

Images shows before and after zModel>Edge>Bridge with Two Holes, Single Line, One Line.

Use the CurveBridge brush in the brush palette instead of the ZModeler function.

#3

Yeah. I used that instead in the end but why does the Edge Bridge not work properly for me?
Is it a known bug or something to report as a bug, is it by design or is it just me?

#4

Not really. I don’t know how you are doing it, but you merely just have to start the curve then press Shift. It would take about 3 seconds work to fill that gap.

Maybe you are expecting it to do something that it wasn’t meant to do?

It is all about polycount. Here with 900K polys I get noise when using zmodeler with two exact same edge counts. But in the next one using curvebridge I get no noise and also bad topology! This is a limitation of Zmodeler it seems.
