Mudbox Transfer Details.(PLEASE HELP)

[Angelbladecobus]

Hi everyone. i'm in urgent need of help. I've been trying to figure out mudbox's transfer detail tool and i'm always getting very weird results.i was hoping people on this forum could maybe guide me through this process.

I have a base with all my details, but i would like to cap the bottom half, since its an open mesh. so when I import my new mesh into mudbox and try using the transfer details, some areas i'm getting details, other areas it creates the stair stepping effect.

Do you do a detail transfer or a sculpt using displacement map ?

If you sculpt usign a displacement map, this could be due to a low depth of the image (an 8 bit disp map can cause these effects, where a 16 or better a 32 bits doesn't)

If you do a detail transfer from mesh to mesh, try to increase or decrease the search distance a bit, because here, some ploys seem to be out of your search range, which could explain they don't transfer.
