Broken OBJ Exporter

Hi all,

First off I’ll start by saying I’m new to ZBrush.

I created a sphere and enabled Dynamesh and sculpted a basic head from that. There are three subtools, the head and two eyeballs. When I export the mesh ‘Writing OBJ’ appears for a second on the command line and a file is created - but no software can open it without an error.

I tested exporting other meshes from ZBrush and it worked fine, so it is this particular mesh which is causing it to bug.

Would appreciate any help.

Did you try to remove(turn off) DynaMesh before exporting/saving?

Thanks for the reply, but no sorry that didn’t work. I assume to turn it off you just hit the Dynamesh button again.

If this helps this is the error I get when trying to import into Maya:

file -import -type “OBJ” -ra true -mergeNamespacesOnClash false -namespace “fdsfds” -options “mo=1” -pr “C:/Users/Jordan/Desktop/fdsfds.OBJ”;// Error: line 0: OBJ file line 355019: index out of range for face creation. //
// Error: line 0: Error reading file. //

well i don’t know if this will help, but in geometry>modify topology are buttons to check and if needed fix mesh integrity.
click those, see what message you get and then try exporting. maybe you have some weird verts.

Yes, that fixed it!

Thank you all for the help, I just played with a few settings in the Modify Topology tab like you suggested :smiley:

Cheers!
