How do I keep the sharp edges on my model when exporting my model from Blender as an .obj and importing into ZBrush?
I tried exporting a small .obj test file from Blender and importing it into ZBrush but it crashed ZBrush. I want to get my model into ZBrush. Any help to get my model from Blender to ZBrush would be appreciated.
Hi!
I’m by no means an expert on either software, but I don’t think you should have any problem keeping the sharp edges at all, as long as it’s a low-poly model with no subsurf smoothing+creasing–can’t say for sure, but ZBrush might not recognize/retain creased edges done in certain software. I import low-poly obj files from Blender and Wings 3D into ZBrush all the time without any additional tweaking, and they hold their shape perfectly.
Of course, if you want to subdivide the model in ZBrush with “smt” enabled, you’ll have to manually crease the edges.
