Paper Thin Rhino import

Hi

Please help me! How to Make my mesh workable in Zbrush
I want to create an ornament on my main Entrance ‘portal’ for my building project. I have a problem with working on imported meshes. My workflow so far.

1. import obj to Zbrush (from Rhino)
2. Zmesher
3. Modify Topology
4. Dynamesh (sometimes it closes ‘holes’ which are not holes, other times it creates wierd new hyoles)

Please see the pictures below.

Before Dynamesh I added tchickness and it is alright!
What do you guys say about my method? How can I make this of importing process better?

Zmodeler:Qmesh to thicken it immediately after import stage since the polycout it low. You’ll have polygroups on the top and bottom surfaces and edges so you can then ZRemesh with KeepGroups. Then use subdivs to refine. Without knowing more I don’t see how Dynameshing would help here. hth.

Good call. It is cleaner. These are my results

1. Qmesh thicken
2. Poly Group edges (by group by visible)
3. Zmesher with KeepGroups

After some manual ZModeller deleting of Faces nefore ZRemesher. I managed to make it like this. it is not perfect but hopefully will be enough.
