Maya to Zbrush - See through faces

CowmasterStudios

Im new to Zbrush (I used Mudbox) and am trying to import my first OBJ. I'm modelling an Art Deco esque Column. The problem I'm having when importing is that some of the faces in my model are see through. My model is comprised of many duplicated objects.





You can see that some Faces are solid, while others are See through. there are even some objects that are solid on one side... but see through on the other.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Looks like some of the normals are flipped, this may be because you've mirrored objects in Maya so they have negative scale values.

Try doing a Freeze Transforms on all your objects before exporting from Maya, and if that doesn't work then Combine them all together into a single mesh and export that after deleting history on it.

I am Zbrushing my Column piece by piece. The main Column is the part Im working on right now... but am running into a problem. I get a weird line going through the center of my model when creating the Normals. Ive tried creating normals on 2 models and got a line jutting through on each.

This is a pic of my Zbrushing


This is one of the oddities... the Line through the middle... horizontally


and now the main problem.. the deformation that appears in the middle and the top and bottom. The Straight horizontal line.



Any help would be much appreciated! thanks
