Import smoothgroups from 3d max

Hi. I created smooth groups in 3d max and cant import to Zbrush as polygroups. Are there any ways?
I tried simlpe .obj Import and ZPlugin->FBX Import… only one polygroup imported again and again.

Hi,

ZBrush doesn’t support smooth groups directly, either with OBJ or FBX. However, this little plugin will import them as polygroups (and crease their edges).

Unzip and put the SmoothGroupsImport.zsc file & SmoothGroupData folder in the ZStartup/ZPlugs64 folder. Restart ZBrush and there should be a new subpalette called “Crease Groups” in the Zplugin palette. Click a button to import a OBJ file.

*Note: this plugin will not work on MacOS
