obj import on new topology doesn´t use new topo

Hi,
I retopoed a modell in ZBrush, made the Adaptive Skin and imported the hires mesh on top of that.
Zbrush asks correctly if I want to reproject the hidetails on my new topo.
But when confirming the result is my old mesh with old topo and even the seams I wanted to fix with that new topo.

What did I wrong?

You need to have the hi-resolution model selected and at the highest level. Import the new topology version of the model. From the sound of your description, you’ve got the new version selected and you’re trying to import the high-res model onto it – which is backwards.

I tried now the hole time to get sth working.

I loaded the reference into TopoGun, loaded the new topo from Adaptiveskin onto it and imported that .obj into ZBrush. But that´s causing
lots of flipped normals (spikes).

Then I tried to chose that topo of the AdaptiveSkin in Topomenu, but because of more than 15k polys it´s refusing.

ReconstructSubD doesn´t work due to triangles. So I tried to export it with QuadPoly selected and reimport it to get rid of those tris, but the tris were unconverted.

It´s really frustrating and I need some suggestions to get it working please = (<
Simultaneously I send this issue to support in hope the find a solution.

Hi,
i don’t know the solution i’m just guessing. Maybe your high resolution mesh and your low res mesh from topogun doesn’t share the same world space anymore and that is what causing the problem.

Hmm, thx for thinking about it.
When I import the lowres it´s placed exactly where the hires is.
I´d unified both to exclude that.

I´m thinking about reinstalling ZBrush, maybe there´s sth wrong.
It´s so annoying, cause it´s my first CG and this should be the last step before printing… but I cannot finish it o.O

With my first retopo in Topogun I´d used now 11 days for several retopo and that issue with reprojecting the details.

I´d tried tu use that Projectionfeature to get the hires back by Adaptive skin, but without success. It starts nice, corestress raises to 100%, ZBrush tells me that it´s subdividing - and that´s the situation for as long as it needs to crash ZBrush. Last try was ~ 11 hours.

I really make desperate efforts, but probably it´ll need only some more days to find/get the answer sigh

K, support suggested now to check the adjustments in the exportmenu.
There were differences between the reinported .obj and the original, but even after scaling them correct the import of the obj is not baked with the original.
I´m still awaiting another response of Pixo.

Is there a possibility to increase the conversationspeed with the supportteam? Becuase 1 mail every 2 or 3 days is really unnerving.
