I’m testing using mannequin as alternative to build start-mesh - I get very nice results with the mannequin - laying down the dimensions - but when I re-mesh I loose a lot of definition on zSpheres - they flatten too much - am I doing something wrong - should I add more zSpheres??
Please see attached image
Are you using Project All to transfer the mannequin form to the mesh? You may need to experiment with the Projection Shell distance.
Project all gave a funny result - the mesh cam out spiky - I played around with diff. setting for a few hours - tried to get a feeling for what worked - Workflow I followed that gave the best result was
preview zSphere(mannequin) with classic skinning & density 1 -> then in Subtool I just hit remesh all with Res = 304, polish 10
It sounds as though you didn’t have the mannequin in preview mode. See here:
