Wierd wireframe artifacts in Mudbox.

Mecha

While trying to paint textures in Mudbox I often get wierd artifacting from the underlying edges:



Any idea what might cause this? I've looked for snap-options and such but they seem to have no effect on this issue.

mudbox dont like lowres meshes...
subdivide it twice should help...

That happened to me once but it didnt show any problems in a render once exported.

Mecha

A subdiv or two seemed to fix the problem.

Thanks.

these are almost a common sight for me in mudbox 2013 as opposed to things just behaving nicely in 2012. anyone can back this up?

workarounds: tessellate/subdivide, triangulate mesh and export to mudbox via FBX (from max). works for 90% of the cases, would love to eliminate this completely though. also, turning off that gigatexel engine or whatever it's called seemed to make a positive difference.
