Hello,
I’m having issues remeshing the product of a live boolean operation, which resulted in a pretty nasty mesh.
See the image attached.
Zremesher throws an error after trying for a while. Is there anything I can do with a mesh like this to try to get a cleaner mesh?
Thanks
Hello @Ouranos
Your mesh looks odd, beyond the obvious. There appears to be some sort of overlapped geometry visible on the interior of your mesh. Note that Zremesher does not fuse or weld together any polygons that are not already fused and welded. Also make certain your mesh is fully un-hidden when Zremeshing, otherwise ZRemesher will only partially re-mesh.
Please provide screenshots of the following:
The visible subtools prior to performing the Live Boolean operation.
The resulting Live Boolean U-mesh prior to ZRemeshing.
A complete, uncropped screenshot of the entire ZBrush interface at the time of ZRemeshing, with the ZRemesher menu open and all settings visible.
Please disable “Double” in the Tool> Display Properties menu for the purpose of these screenshots. Double sided geometry can obscure issues with normal facing.
Thanks!
I’m still not completely sure what Im looking at. 
If you are in fact ZRemeshing the resulting merged UMesh from your boolean operation, it should look something like this at your settings:
Based on the information I have, I can only assume your mesh is faulty in some way.
Also be aware that ZRemesher is not effective with extremely low polycounts. There is no way you’ll get a “half” result from a mesh that is already that low poly to begin with. It should not have produced the result you’re showing here, however.
I recommend subdividing your mesh to smooth it, unless you want that low poly faceted look. Then run your mesh through Dynamesh to clean it up, close any gaps, and eliminate overlapped geometry. ZRemesh the resulting, higher resolution mesh.
If you still can’t sort out the issue with your mesh and are willing, save out a TOOL file–not a project file–with Tool>Save As for the merged UMesh in the new iMage3D format, and drag and drop the resulting image file directly in the text window in the thread here. Save only the subtool required to reproduce the issue, and nothing else. I’ll take a look at it.
