Zbrush, selecting ''elements''?

Clos3d

Hey guys, I have this pile of junk to ''upres'' in zbrush, the object is made in 3dsmax.

I'm wondering if is possible to import a big object with like 100+ ''elements'' and select them as element in zbrush?

IE: I have 50rocks overlapping each others, I want to select 1 rock and isolate it to add details.


possible?

Yeah Polygroups, and isolating polygroups by ctrl+shift click. ctrl+shift clicking the canvas to un isolate.

I'm sorry for my bad explanation, thanks for thr quick reply tho.

Here is more exactly how I want to select things in zbrush:

I just want 1 of the shape to be selected, and discard anything else, I can't find anything that will make this possible.

Are they separate objects in Zbrush? If so, you need to autogroup them so they're separate polygroups. You can then separate them out into multiple subtools.

No it was done in 3dsmax and exported as a big mesh

They should still be separate objects though as long as they're not physically connected with welded verts. Autogroups didn't work? Try group visible then autogroup. If 3ds Max is making it all goofy you can try the new FBX importer in Zbrush 4 R7.

I get abnormal termination when doing a group split, lol.


I think I'll insert mesh on top of the mesh ill have, wil be a bit faster

Thanks for your help btw, very appreciated
