Are you struggling to transfer your 3D models from Rhino to ZBrush without losing the details? Look no further! Here's a quick guide on how to export lower polycount OBJs from Rhino to ZBrush for a seamless transition.

Step 1: Simplify your Rhino model

Before exporting your model, it's important to reduce the polycount in Rhino to ensure a smoother transfer to ZBrush. You can do this by using the ReduceMesh command in Rhino, which allows you to simplify the geometry while preserving the overall shape and details of the model.

Step 2: Export as OBJ file

Once you're satisfied with the simplified version of your model, it's time to export it as an OBJ file. In Rhino, go to File > Export Selected and choose OBJ as the file format. Make sure to select the 'Weld vertices' option to merge any duplicate vertices and reduce the file size.

Step 3: Import into ZBrush

Now that you have your low poly OBJ file, open ZBrush and import the file by going to Tool > Import and selecting your OBJ file. ZBrush will automatically load the model with the reduced polycount, allowing you to start sculpting and adding finer details without any lag or performance issues.

By following these simple steps, you can efficiently transfer your 3D models from Rhino to ZBrush while maintaining a lower polycount for a smoother and more responsive sculpting experience. Whether you're working on character modeling, environmental design, or product visualization, this workflow will save you time and ensure a seamless transition between the two software.

So, the next time you're struggling with exporting lower polycount OBJs from Rhino to ZBrush, remember these steps for a hassle-free process. Happy modeling!
