Importing 3D files into ZBrush

[system]

Hello ZBrushers!

I am 100% new to this program and all the work I’ve seen on here is amazing… The company i work for is making our own 3D busts using a camera array and a program called StereoScan to align them all and make the “chunk” as they call it. After we load the images and the chunk has been made, the hair follicles show up as large bumps on top of the surface of the scan and the program does not allow for editing.

I am curious to know if it is possible to load a 3D file into this program and edit its texture. it can be exported as an OBJ, 3ds, WRL, DAE, PLY, STL, FBX, DXF, U3D, PDF, and KMZ files. I have tried my hand at editing in the 3D part of Photoshop CC but it doesn’t do what i need it to.

Any and all advice welcome!

Thank you!!

Hi and welcome,

Zbrush 4R7 allows e.g. OBJ and FBX import.
More information can be found here:
OBJ import/export: http://docs.pixologic.com/reference-guide/tool/polymesh/
FBX import/export: http://docs.pixologic.com/user-guide/zbrush-plugins/fbx-exportimport/

CU and have a great day.

In addition to those formats ZBrush also supports STL, MA and DXF. It can also export VRML but not import the format.
