Multimap Exporter Merging issue

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello

Just a small issue i’ve been doing some detailing on a model in Zbrush it contains quite a few subtools but all are UV’d to fit on one map and everything fits fine my issue is when exporting with MultiMap Exporter and selecting Subtool> Merge it exports all the maps but never merges them i just end up with a butt load of maps. It has worked perfectly fine on other models with equal or more subtools. I was just wondering if anyone else was having this issue or if anyone knew how to fix it.

Thanks

Can you let me have the model to test? Send me a private message with a link to Dropbox or similar and I’ll try and find what is going wrong.

OK, for the benefit of anyone with this issue:

The Merge Maps option in the Multi Map Exporter plugin will fail if the top subtool doesn’t generate the appropriate map. So, for example, if displacement maps are being generated and the top subtool has no subdivision levels (so no map is created) then the displacement maps for all subtools won’t be merged.

This bug should be fixed in the next update of the plugin. Thanks to Triangles for helping find this problem.
