Tree Texturing

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hello guys,

I am student in VFX, and really new to zbrush .I have to sculpt properly a realistic tree. Ok. Done. But now I have to texture it. I tried spotlight and all went fine.
But when I export it to maya, it’s kinda…awful. Really doesn t look like my result in zbrush. The textures are very blur.
I really don t know why: UV’S, rendering workflow, exporting Zb to maya workflow, shading, really didn t find the problem.

Second prob, when I want to import my obj to maya, it s always says :" error reading file" or " error line xxxxx index for face creation "…

Save me guys :frowning:

Some pictures would be helpful here.

How did you model the tree? What size are your textures and maps? How are you trying to export to Maya?

#4

Ok guys, thanks for your answers.

I model it from a recap (real capture) (directly made a dynamesh on it) and my textures map is in 8K
But when I look the map (view button on maya) as you can see on the ScreenMapPhotoshop, it s kinda creepy…

ZPlugins:AutoUpdate. You’re a bit behind the times :wink: What will it be used for? Rendering out to a larger image might give different results as well. Have you tried to render it in ZBrush with BPR?

It’s for a movie, that we have to do in our last year… so it has to be perfect.
And the image should be very close…
Ok zbrush is auto updating now:D
I didn t try BPR but we all render in maya, if I don t follow the workflow I am not sure that the professors will agree :confused:

960x540 render size won’t give amazing results. What size did you output the textures from ZBrush?

4k maps…
