Smooth - fast and accurate

Hello,

I am a newbie facing a simple annoying problem - I think I am missing something! please help!!! :idea:

On my high poly model I can only slow smooth!!! I would like to faster smooth! How do I do that? I thought of going lower 1 or 2 poly levels (that works!) but when I go back high poly - I am full of artifacts!!! see picture posted! increasing z intensity dont affect anything I am stock!!! dying of slow smooth!!! :frowning:

thanks and merry x mas to all full of happy zb!

Helios2,

Are you smoothing with zsub button? I know I’ve seen similar type of things doing that, did you try smoothing with the zadd button on?

Hello AngelJ,

thanks for the reply!!! I double check the settings !!! but I am afraid it don’t help really! the zadd button is on (and was on for adding details with the stencil)

It eventually does smooth but after 10 minutes every little part of my model (not so big 2 milions polys)!!! going nuts !

I wonder if it as to do something with the definition of the alpha I used (512X512) jpeg???

I am sending a desperate call again to advanced users!!!

Helios :eek:

hi helios try smoothing on low levels first then go up and smooth those nasty edges i guess that should work

Hello everybody!

I found the solution - restart the application!!! I don’t know what really caused the slow down but I got rid of it simply with a restart!!!

I did put my computer to sleep 2 times these days… I wonder if Zbrush is sensitive to that… My intuition is that it is a memory problem…maybe a setting…

anyway merry xmas to all
