Topology problem

Hello
I’m having some topology issues with this geometry.
It was created via a boolean, and it works fine in C4d when I texture and light it.  However when I bring it into another 3d app (Notch) it acts strangely, and I can clearly see that there is a normal and geometry issue.
I brought the geometry into Zbrush and did a full remesh to try to get rid of all the strangeness, but I’m still running into the issue..
This is the retopologized mesh
https://www.dropbox.com/s/kcjx3x2j8a3t9uz/TempleForNotch_VesicaSolo2.c4d?dl=0
And this is my original mesh
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cvr39da8ibdjsj2/VesicaNoRetopo.c4d?dl=0

I must have done something wrong in the modeling process, but I’m not quite sure how to fix now that I’ve got a “final” mesh.  If I have to start from scratch, what is a good way to do this without having the issue of odd boolean geometry?
Maybe use spline masks? 

Thanks for any suggestions!

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the file, thanks for using DropBox.

Here is your model back. It is built new from scratch.
I don’t know which kind of density you need the mesh, so I left the SubDivision Surface active.

Boole: Two round shapes cutting into each other works in just a few cases, mostly, I wouldn’t even try.

How to do it, to get a pristine mesh?
I have discussed this here:
https://www.cineversity.com/vidplaytut/modeling_02_cylindrical_hole

There is a plugin that creates a round shape to be used for that. But your hole was not a circle.

All the best.

Wow Sassi, that’s so generous of you, thank you so so much.  The mesh looks amazing.  I’m definitely going to watch that tutorial!

Thanks again!!!!

You’re very welcome, Alex, thanks for the kind reply.

I find modeling is the fastest way to get into the flow. A perfect way to end the day wink

All the best
