issue with Make Boolean Mesh

Hi,

I am using ZBRUSH’s crease workflow with the Make Boolean Mesh function and getting issues I have never seen before and for the life of me cannot solve. Essentially I am doing the usual steps I have always done, but the results are awful: After I Make Boolean Mesh and select the subtool, I get weird faceting occurring and noise appears all over the mesh, as if I was using the Noise generator (I am not).

Here are the steps I did:

  • Import OBJ with ZBRUSH default from Max (also have tried FBX with no options selected)
  • Crease subtools
  • Get the result I want with dynamic sub-div, then add sub-div levels (usually the part is around 5 million active points)
  • Make Boolean Mesh
  • Dynamesh also makes it look terrible
Now I have exported other parts from the same scene in Max and they have worked fine so it seems to be a select few parts. Just wondering if anyone has seen this too? I was using 4R8 and recently updated to 2018.1 and it still does it. I have deleted the faces and re-bridged in Max, used reset X-form, tried different export settings, tried just Boolean'ing one part at a time. Nothing seems to fix it. Tried also exporting from a different version of Max.

Any help with this issue would be awesome! Thanks! I’ve attached some images of my results.noise.JPGpart1_post_make_boolean.JPGpart1_pre_make_boolean.JPGpart2_post_make_boolean.JPGpart2_pre_make_boolean.JPGdynamesh.JPG
