Zsphere adaptive skin help.

Remenance

Hello!
I wanted to try a bit of low poly modelling and was curious whether zspheres in zbrush could act as a nice starting point, partially since im more used to that program  

When you first apply the adaptive skin the leg looks like this, however, despite the blocky shapes, the actual poly count is over 50k for this piece. The body was able to be zremeshed down before having some edgeloops deleted by hand, but the leg lost a lot of the form when i repeated that process.

Simply reducing the res in adaptive skin along with density will reduce the polycount but in the end will look just like a regular dynamesh. 

Is there any way of having it keep this form but for those squares to be the actual polygons?

update, had some success by duplicating the piece, remeshing it down then using project all with the high poly version

just guessing here, but i believe dynamesh resolution is influenced by the scale of an object. In order to avoid having to remesh and all of that, you might play with the scale first, set your adaptive skin resolution, and see what that does.

If you want the lowpoly version of adaptive skinning go to the settings and lower the density to around 1-2 and Dynamesh Resolution to 0. Before activating the adaptive skinning preview also lower the G Radial setting.
