Help!! - Crazy Dynamesh Zbrush

sophiam

Everytime I dynamesh something I extract, I get this kind of crazy breakdown whenever I sculpt on it. Anyone know what's wrong? I found out that it happens when your sculpt is too thin, but it happens even when it has an enough amount of thickness to it too. Annoying as it is, it just really freaks me out

Troubleshooting this involves one or many of the following:
1) Duplicate the mesh, Dynamesh the new one.
2) Increase the mesh thickness.
3) Make a tiny tiny modification to the mesh, and then dynamesh it.

There may be more.

So I wanna ad two things here:
 1 - its the thickness of the mesh
 2-  WHO TAKES PHOTOS OF THEIR SCREEN!?!?+

Looks like a model scale issue to me. Or you are using too much polygons in dynamesh. I believe it goes crazy after 10 mil polys or something.

You mean that's not how to quote people normally?

Try changing your dynamesh resolution.

 I ran into this issue the other day on a mesh that wasn't super thin or in any other obvious way unusual. It'd be fine to dynamesh up to a certain resolution, but then suddenly corrupt like what you're seeing there once it hit a certain, not extraordinarily high res.

That happens sometimes with me:
Normally the problem is the thickness  of the mesh, but also sometimes is not enough resolution in Dynamesh, thats also makes the polygons get crazy as hell when the dynamesh is applied and for the last try i normally go to:
Deformation> Size (and increase for the max 1 time and then click in Repeat to Active) Make you mesh model bigger, dynamesh will work based on the size of your mesh. Hope that i helped, i know how frustating can be, when dynamesh rebel against us

Thank you for the help everyone!
