Subdivision problem...

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

hello there.
In 3d max i made an object and apply chamfer to all edges. Then apply Meshsmooth(nurms method) with 2 subd.
Export this to Zbrush and try to reconstruct lower subd level - not working. There is no holes and triangles. This feature
with reconstructing is working very seldom.

But a question- after applying Divide in Zrush my topology ( from 3d max) is smoothing and when, i export back to 3d max, edges become not so sharp as they were before. How to freeze chamfer on the edges and preserve distance between them.?:confused:

#2

When dividing in ZBrush the mesh is smoothed uniformly. To avoid the mesh being smoothed at all you need to turn off the Tool>Geometry>Smt button.

Alternatively, you can crease some of the edges to maintain the shape. This is simplest if you have defined polygroups. You can then use the Tool>Geometry>Crease PG button to crease the polygroup borders.

Thx for answer, but turning off smt button is not a good way in my case.
Making polygroups will take me too much time.
I’m looking for some kind of freezing my chamfered edges, not all topology.
