Exporting from ZBrush for 3D Printing.

Lulorz · Apr 2013

Hi there.

I'm getting a model 3D printed, and I need to make the model a single piece of geometry. Previously I simply merged all the subtools and exported as an .obj, but when I ran a density checker on Sculpteo.com, areas of my model were deemed too thin as if they were still seperated, despite overlapping and intersecting each subtool.
I attempted to run Unified Skin over the whole model but the resolution was simply not high enough. Can anyone help?

Have you tried Dynamesh?

I'm going to make an attempt at Dynamesh'ing the whole model, piece by piece together and using a duplicate to project it onto to keep the detail. Fingers crossed.

Are you making sure that each piece is water tight and capped off?

I dynameshed everything and it worked! Thankyou for reminding me about Dynamesh, for some reason it totally slipped my mind, and yes, every piece is water tight/capped off, made sure of that
