QRemesh after panel loops - preserve corners?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

I want to Qremesh a panel loop group, going from 25k polys to 1k.
Problem is, QRemesh doesn’t preserve sharp corners very well, either softening them or averaging them. One trick I tried using (which seemed to help a bit) was to use the QRemesher guide brush with the frame mesh feature. This created a QRM guide curve on the border. I then set the curve stiffness to 100%, but it still shifts the corners.

It’d be great if it could preserve corners (over 45 degrees for instance). has anyone got any tips ?

Depending on why you are reducing, you could try decemation master. It will reduce the polys preserving the edges. It won’t give you a good poly flow, so as I said, depends on why you are reducing.
