Zbrush screwed up my subdivision levels

rayle1112

This is my original topology (3 days ago)



and today, I just realized that Zbrush has screwed up my subdivision levels somehow... My first subdivision now is a combination of level 1 (chest and arms) and level 2 (the rest body).



Since I have made a lot of changes, I don't want to use the old mesh. Is there any way to fix the topology of the new mesh without retopo manually the whole model again?

so you messed up your model, not zbrush... don't use masking together with subdividing would be a start to avoid this

SuperFranky

Yeah, you probably used Subdivide while masking a part of the model.

Bring in the original model as a new subtool, and use Project All to transfer the details back onto it. Subdivide once and repeat the process until it is fully restored.

project all might work on a few places, but just check the differences in the face, this will not work

cryrid

Wont know until he tries it. But even if he has to manually inflate problem areas beforehand, play with the projection distance / envelope, or keep the projection localized to certain areas, it can still save time vs starting all over again.
