Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world
Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

Zbrush UV/Polypaint issues? UV Map messes up before export?

Hello. I am having troubles exporting the polypaint map from Zbrush to be imported into Maya?

The map is perfect when I haven't touched a thing or any of the settings...

But when I go to Texture Map > New from Polypaint, The UV Map messes up on the arms and on the lips. The polypaint goes out of place.


I have already UV Mapped the model using UV Mapper, and reimporting it into the SubTool palette.

The UV Map works fine, but when I click New from Polypaint, that's when I have problems.


I have a before picture, before I clicked any of the settings, then an after picture showing what happens after I click the New From Polypaint. I also have a picture of my settings.

AFTER (With New From Polypaint)

SETTINGS

HERE IS A PICTURE OF THE BODY MESH IN MAYA, You can see how misplaced the map is.

What do I do? Thank you for your time.

Please, I need help. This is for my college project. My school doesn't teach Zbrush, and nobody in my class plays with this program but me. The teacher says I can bring in a character from Zbrush into Maya and rig it for my graded project.

But I can't until I get this texture right.

Can somebody please, please help me?

What do your UVs look like with texture on in maya the UVs might need flipping or the texture, also check that that there is no transparencey on the shader.............dave
