Split geometry in ZBrush - is there a fix for this?

Kot_Leopold

Hello fellas,

I've run into a problem here.. It happened when I Groups Split'ed a model that was polygrouped (lower lip/jaw area). I then merged the subtools down but now when I subdivide, smooth over, or move topological, the geometry separates even though the body is just a single polygroup. ZBrush still thinks they are separate subtools.



Is there any way to fix this issue?

You could dynamesh it back together, but then you ruin your topo which isnt a bad thing if you were going to retopo anyways. You may have to go in Max or what have you and weld the verts back together if its low enough. Other wishe i don't know a good way in zBrush otherwise.

Thanks Donavonyoung. I went to Maya and manually merged all the verts. Worked like a charm.

Merging just sort of... puts them into a single subtool. There is a smaller button/option to weld them during this process
