more Zb3 woes.

so after managing to split the sepperate objects of my mesh into different subtools (it wouldn't let me polygroup them the way the zbrush.info site says i should be able to). i how have a problem...

how do i combine all the subtools back into one tool? if i try to save any of the tools, they all have to be saved as sepperate .ztls, and the same if i try to export to .obj or anything.

it's a pain in the freaking ass.

If you export or save the topmost tool, onto which all the subtools are appended, it should have all the subtools exported/saved with it.

hmm i'll give that a go. i was a little dubious about it though, as it labeled it as File7 (there were 7 subtools).

thanks though fogmann.

Take subtools to the subd level you want, delete other levels, clone them.

Then tools>geometry>insert mesh and select a clone. Rinse and repeat.

Not sure what you mean by subtools having to be saved seperately, when you save a tool you are working on, all the subtools are saved too.

almighty_gir

yeah it worked... only problem now is that max keeps "max is not responding blaaaaaaaargh" whenever i try to import any .obj files i've exported from zbrush, no matter which sub d level i'm working with.

[steam] subtools are a half assed. half baked. weak as f__k implementation of such a fundamental feature as working with multiple objects. the technical wizards at that company have absolutely no f__king idea of usability. pixologic is an oxymoron [/steam]

you might want to take a look at this plugIn : http://www.zbrushcentral.com/zbc/showthread.php?p=371262#post371262. not sure if it works with 3.1 but no doubt it'll be updated soon enough if it doesn't
