how can i fix this?

[benclark]

setup Zbrush so you have ten million undo's and just go back to before it happened

or Try smoothing the areas with a normal brush

If you've been working in ProjectionMaster I would always do a quick check of the model when I pick it up to make sure this hasnt happened

yea.. it happened in PM. i looked around but i'm pretty blind so..>_< is there any way i can keep stuff like that from occuring?its so infuriating!

I can't say for sure how to avoid- but here is what I do.

Avoid triangles in the initial geometry- or more importantly stars (I get pinching in those areas)

Do the double check mentioned in the previous statement.

Sometimes I've gotten a strange welding of verts- where a vert merges all the way thru the geometry to the other side. I export this to another program (maya is my choice) clean it up- and then back to Zbrush. I lose subdivision levels doing this- but its possible to regain them if the incoming geometry is quads. Usually I don't mind losing them because I already have a low rez backup- and I'm going to finish in Maya with that low rez backup and the highrez for a normal map.

I'm sure there is more to this- I hope someone posts on how to edit your verts, delete verts, and keep your subdivisions.

good luck
Craig

i read that there is a way to use a morph brush to restore to the stored mt? but i haven't been able to find anything else about that. do you guys know anything like that?

[eblondin]

If you have a morph target stored at a given sub d level you can use the morph brush under Transform - Morph to brush your model back to the stored morph target. remember though you have to be at the same sub d level that you stored the morph target at.
