Zbrush dynamesh issues

giby

Hello guys I am relatively new to Z brush. I saw a tutorial on hard surface modelling in z brush so i wanted to try it out.
I just took a primitive cube and turned it into a dynamesh with 256 Res.
After dynameshing the mesh gets has all these jagged lines which show up while masking and mess up my edges.
Is there any way to fix this problem.
Thanks for the help guys

That's just the nature of dynamesh. If you want a nice straight line, the slice curve brush will cut through it nicely.

Yes agreed with the above, and don't forget Zremesher which will remesh (even) polys and such. Nobody expect to have straight lines, think more like clay.

Also, have a look at the first Transpose video here, Michael Pavlovich walks through how to add loops and control your topology in Zbrush.

He goes fast, so it's really packed with info, worth a watch.
