hi everyone,
this is my first experience importing a zbrush obj file into 3ds max, however right after i importe the obj file, 3ds max becomes laggy and i barely manage to rotate/scale the object . is there any steps i should do pre exporting from zbrush/importing into 3ds max ? would greatly appreciate any advice.
-my system specs: Intel® Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz | ASUS Z87-A | 2GB Sapphire Radeon 7870GHz | 8GB Kingstone DDR3
Reduce the number of faces and verts you’re trying to work with. Display as wireframe could potentially help.
how do i reduce the number of faces/verts? does that mean i export in a lower subdivision level or i something i should do in max?
Exporting lower makes sense to me 
thanks, tho it’d be nice if i could export with all the fine details.
You can export at any level, is it necessary to have the actual geometry? I believe you’ll find when your lower res mesh has displacement applied in Max, it will look better than without it.
i know but the 3D software , 3ds max for instance, crashes due to huge amount of faces. but yea using bump n displacements should do the trick.
i actually found a solution to lower the poly count without losing too much details. it’s the Decimation plugin. u might wanna give it a try if you havent used it yet.
