zbrush flipping face problem ; ;

Krisonrik

I combined few pieces of polygons into one mesh and imported them into zbrush for some detail works. But when I import it, the helm and the ring around knee cap is flipped for some reason. And I don't know how to inverse that effect. Please help me ; ;

Try hiding everything but them, then go to tools>display properties>flip

If that doesn't work, try breaking them off into sub ojects, flipping, then inserting them back into the rest of the mesh.

Just flipping the normals of the specific parts that are having issues prior to exporting them for zb3 works fine for me.

This usually occurs because you need to either "Reset XForm" (if you're using Max) or "Freeze Transformations" (if you're using Maya).

Basically those parts of the mesh will have negative scaling on at least one axis, I'm assuming cos you've been mirroring them. Mirrored parts often need to be reset/frozen before export or this happens.

Rhinokey

reseting xforms is the number one fix for almost any problem in max, the second fix is making a box, and ataching the object to the box, then deleting the box. that fixes most mesh related bugs.
