Trouble importing OBJ from Blender to ZBrush

floatfm

Hello, everyone! I'm trying to export an OBJ from Blender 2.8 to ZBrush but the mesh is extremely distorted when I attempt it. Any help or advice would be appreciated!


Export settings and project inside of Blender 2.8. ^


Resulting import into ZBrush using Quads and Triangles Setting (Symmetrical Triangles Only setting is even more distorted) ^

Does the mesh have non-manifold geometry? This might be causing the issue.

I'm not sure is there an easy way that I can check if that's a possibility?

Whack a subdivide modifier on the mesh in Blender. Switch on the subdivide and see what it does to the mesh. That is one way to check your geometry. You can also switch off double sided display to check if any faces are flipped. In Blender 2.79 you can switch the mesh check addon on and inspect your mesh for errors.

There is a selection option for non-manifold. Won't fix it obviously, but will at least highlight any problematic areas.

Fixed! The normals were flipped so I went in and fixed them and now it imports perfectly! I really appreciate everyone's help!
