[Zbrush] Scanned data and topology cleanup

KurtR

Hi, I got this scanned historical plate I am cleaning up. I am trying to figure out how to best get a clean loop around the edge so I can make the depth of it cleanly. I am not getting Zremesher to create a continuous loop. i tried taking it into max and do something with it there as well, but are there any well defined method or tips in doing this?

If there are any other good tips on cleanup, it would be much appreciated.

I'm still interested in any alternate or good methods of doing this, though what I did find out working fairly well, was creating polygroups by masking out the edge before zremeshing. Then exporting and importing into max and scaling out that edge created by the polygroup. Then just use the regulizer script before exporting back to zbrush. Seems to be a way to go about it.

have you tried creating curves to influence zremesher?

Hi CompanionCube, thanks for feedback. Didn't see it before. I actually didn't try to use it on these. In the past my experience has been that it usually ends up creating spiraling edge flow, though I should've given it a shot. I did in the end finish this so It'll be for next time.

Thank you though.
