Ok what you saying is that i must make morph target for the basic model and then model in Zbrush , after that make the displacement and paint it in Zbrush ... ?Originally posted by Anhslaught
Before you even start modeling, you should probably create a morph target. I'm not home right now, but.....I think its under morph target tab, you click on create. This way if you plan on importing it back, the UVs and the base model won't get messed up and rearranged. If that happens, it makes UV'ing a little harder. Displacements would be fine because it would follow along the UV that you mapped out, but color mapping would probably get stretched. I'm experienced that a few times before I finally figured it out. Kind of.

Yep. You have to be in Edit mode to see the tab to the right for it. It should be under Morph Target, click Store MT, then you start modeling. If you don't do this, everytime you model something and increase its resolution, you can't go back to the original object because everythings been moved around. Since its all moved around, it also affects your UV maps, causing color maps to stretch when you paint on it. By saving morph targets, you can always refer back to what you started with.
I'm still learning so nothing I say will be official.

See that subtool menu? Just click on that then add or append(i forgot what its called). You can lock or hide the eyeballs so you won't actually move its verts around while playing with the eyelids.
And did you do the textures all from Zbrush and exported it over to maya or something?

Don't rush straight to the detailing.
