DAZ zbrush texturing head

bicc39

I have created a Michael 6 character, with morphs.
I wish to use zbrush to create a texture map(s) for the face and head.
Is there anyway to export the selected parts to zbrush, keep the currect uv,s intact
an create a map that will fit back into DAZ.

In Poser you would export the head, paint a texture, import the map back and so forth.

Thank you.

To get material zones you need to export the mesh as an OBJ - you can use the SubD version if you are at this stage wanting only the maps, not to create morphs. Then in ZBrush preferences you need tot ell it to import Mats as Polygroups and not to export regular polygroups - that will enable you to select the individual areas that need to go to different maps when you are done poly-painting. GoZ doesn't preserve grouping and although you can group by UV islands it isn't very efficient (though it should work OK for the face and back of the head).

No need to export the geometry from Poser any more since Poser allows you to send the character to ZBrush via GoZ. You can also choose between material and body part polygon grouping.
