Hey guys !
I recently started modeling in Maya and wanted to export my model to Zbrush for futhrer detailing ,but when I try to do so the imported model gets distorted and is not able to preserve its shape.
This is what I want.

For some models I get even worse results.

Please help frustrated because of this.

You need to quadrangulate or triangulate your model before export - have a look under the 'Mesh' menu.

N-gons are illegal topology in ZB. It attempts to convert the mesh to a format it can read, but often fails to render it so it's best to do as mentioned above and pre-quad or triangulate it in Maya.

Something you could try is to run a unification boolean on the mesh (well a copy of it) and then import that into zB. I seem to remember that zB imports Ngons from a boolean mesh and connects everything up itself. If that doesnt work then run a mesh check on the model in Maya and correct those errors like has been said.
