Ben you do need to have a good mesh going into zbrush 4 sided polys. One problem I have found is a vertices with more then 4 edges leading into it, this for me caused spiking were you go over a area with a zbrush brush the result a spike. I dont know if you want to work in this area or not but a good mesh will give you no problems..................I hope I am helping...........Dave
