Solution for 3dsmax7 export problem when working with subdiv resolutions in zbrush

[DDS]

Wow, why have I lost this since today?

It works for all-quad meshes to me.

Thanks man :lol:

Update:

It seems that everytime max imports an .obj or converts an editable mesh to editable poly a reordering inside the object is happening.

Let’s call the normal order 1 and the changed one 2
When you import a zbrush .obj inside max 1 is changed to 2
Now when you convert the imported object from editable mesh to editable poly the order changes back to 1.
Exported .obj works in zbrush.
If you convert the editable poly in the 3dsmax scene back to editable mesh nothing happens but if you convert the editable mesh again to editable poly the ordering changes to 2.

So everytime you import an .obj or convert a mesh to poly you need to remember that the ordering changes and you have to export/import/export or convert the editable mesh to editable poly to change the order again.

hello!!! I m a new zbrush2 user…
I’ve tried many things with import/export in zbrush2, I regularly use 3dsmax7
and i had the same problems…
I 've found a solution for obj export :

• transform mesh in editable polylook

• choose option “export selected” in file menu

• choose file name with “obj” extention

• look at here below screen capture, you can see that “relative vertex numbers” is unchecked:
  

• import object using “tool” menu

• concerning export: don’t make any change.
  ENJOY ! IT WORKS !
