Zbrush Creating a Projected remesh for outside of mesh

leslievdb

I was wondering if anyone knew a good way to remesh a mesh that consists of multiple objects so that i would only end up with a remeshed version of everything on the outside. Sort of like shrinkwrapping a mesh around everything.

I`ve been trying some things in zbrush but it always keeps remeshing the inner parts as well. So far i tried Remesh and Dynamesh.

Can you make the outer objects into a subtool? That should give you the control that you are looking for.

Worst case scenario, build a big zsphere armature around everything (or just dynamesh a blob around it all), and then project that towards the shape (might have to alternate between projecting and remeshing, depending on how complex the object is).

thanks for the comments guys

the problem is that its a full character that consist of many subtools and it creates a lot of overlapping.
The zsphere way could work buy is a bit too tedious for my taste since i`m trying to make a quicker workflow for retopping using zremesher and it can`t have geometry on the inside of the mesh.

It may not sound as fun as clicking a button, but it's not going to take more than a couple of minutes.

Also, what do you mean by geometry on the inside? Are we talking about something like inside the mouth/throat bag? Or just where different elements overlapped? Dynamesh takes care of that.

its where different elements overlap, i thought dynamesh would take care of that but it doesn`t somehow, i`ll try to get a visual example up here when i get home tonight

Dynamesh should take care of it if the elements are 1 subtool. Separate subtools will stay separate.
