Post 17 - Extraction: SOLUTION

Image from Pixologic.com

I have just discovered a link to a forum from Pixologic.com. Here is the link:

After days of searching for a solution or work around, I saw an image, (posted in by the user who was having problems). It immediately became apparent that this looked like the same problem I was having. The forum suggested several tests that could be preformed to see if there were any defeats in the mesh itself. Although the user ended up finding his own solution, the member named 'Degenerate Triangle' suggested the following:

To delete geometry in ZBrush by simply selecting the troublesome geometry using the shift and control keys. Then, by going to the geometry drop down menu and selecting 'delete hidden' this would remove anything which was previously hidden. 

As none of the troublesome geometry is connected with the recently extracted sub tool, this process was straight forward and worked 100%. This is a massive relief for me as I can now continue with creating the armour.

Whilst I was trying to find a solution to this problem, I decided to edit a previously made Prezi presentation. The original presentation was made for a Research Practice task, but I have duplicated it, then tailored it to show all of the 3D modeling research and resources I have been using for this project. This would also tie in with additional content for my Task Two. here is the link:

It covers all of the major resources that I have listed as being useful for this project and ranges from books and websites to magazines and other media based resources.
