3ds max to zbrush please help

itsover3

Whenever i export my model from 3ds max into zbrush I always get the triangles exported w/ it so when i divide my model gets really messed up. Ive tried exporting it as polygons etc. but that hasnt really made a difference if someone could help me fix this problem that would be great and if you want some pictures of what i mean i can supply those aswell

what file format are you exporting...and what are your settings?

^ those are the settings i use and ive tried using triangles quads and polygons but hasnt helped

Hmm, Quads there should work, unless your model itself has triangles in it. Make sure there aren't any triangles in your model.

You might have to change zbrush's import settings

Haywood tools has a select non Quads script that would be helpful for finding hidden triangles and ngons.

can get it here: http://jhaywood.com/maxScripts.htm

Also probly wouldnt hurt to collapse your stack and reset the xform before you export it

thomasp

make sure that you export an object of the editable poly-type with a clean stack and it should work. also, as mentioned, reset-xform is the cure for almost any max-cancer.

Better OBJ exporter might also help
