Description Here a tips I discovered some time ago,
you can decrease the mesh density of DaZ's Victoria4 and
Michael4 with Zbrush using the Reconstruct Subdiv tools.

It can make some props like clothes easier to build, using
the new low basemesh as a start.

You need Zbrush 2.x and above and a standart 3D software
(3dsMax, Maya, C4D etc.)

Comments or questions are welcome as usual

Is there a way to go even lower with the subdivisions? I'm trying to copy the topology to another model: but I dont want to topogun 10,000 polys by hand

Yup, you can use *.obj file format export, it's universal between all the 3d packages...

Hi MkG2k7,
Love your work btw, I've been trying to use Reconstruct Subdiv on V4 like you said in both zbrush 2 and 3.2 and both are telling me unable to..operation cancelled.

I import her in like any other obj tool. Is there something I'm doing wrong here? I would love to be able to do this.
Thanks

Hi,

Yep, if you import directly from Poser you can't
reconstruct the mesh because only the body mesh
is compatible with subdiv reconstruction.

So, you must use a 3D software to import the Poser's obj
then export only the body (you must detach all the other part
from it, lashes, teeth, eyes etc.)

Poser can't export only the body correctly...

Thanks a heap!
Worked like a charm. I noticed zbrush made a couple hundred tris, but they subdivide smoothly in C4d. Interesting. This was very helpful, thanks again.
