Re: Anything Grooves updated 2004-02-28 - By Eric Winemiller

Steve,
Anything Grooves works by slicing up the mesh along UV lines. In that
case one of it's slices was close to, but not exactly the same as an
existing vertex. This will not fix that, it's just inherit in the way
Anything Grooves works. If the mesh is already dense enough, you could
certainly use the same approach as I'm suggesting for ZBrush objects by
setting the U and V samples to 1 so that Grooves just pushes around the
existing vertices.
