Hi everyone -
i’m very new to zbrush and brand new in this forum, i hope i can find some help here.
i am drawing and painting a lot (traditionally) - and I wanted to have one of my characters (female head) modeled/rendered in 3d so I can simply use it in zbrush , and to rotate the head as I need different angles and perspectives of the woman with shadow and light. Since I am totally new to sculpting, I decided to have someone make it. I made an order and the guy delivered 2 days ago - the file is an .obj file. from what I understand - this format is good and can be opened in every 3d program. now i need to review the 3d model he did, because i have the right for one modification/revision if i don’t like something.
Problem is i totally don’t get it - i cannot open the .obj file nor can i import it. the only way to get it into zbrush is by importing it into the “tools” - and once i drag or “paint” it on the canvas, it looks pretty rough. As i agreed with the 3d artist it shouldn’t be painted or textured i just needed the sculpted head something like this .
when I try to use the female head that he has made (via brush tool import) then it’s a very rough mesh object, and I am not able to zoom, scale , rotate or anything, to work on it, so that I can review if it’s ok. What am I missing here? maybe the 3d head he made isn’t so rough and undetailed at all, and I am just not able to open and view the file correctly??
Can I upload my .obj file here anyhow so that you can have a look - and see what’s wrong? I would appreciate any help so much, I looked through many tutorials and beginner interface guides, but everything that was explained in the tuts doesn’t apply to me, i simply can’t change into edit mode or simply rotate the object around etc…
thank you in advance for any help!
