Zbrush to Keyshot bridge UV mapping broken?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Been using the bridge since its release and something thats always bugged me is that it seems the texture mapping through the bridge is a bit broken, or maybe I’m not using it correctly.

Essentially what I do is:

  1. Model in ZBrush
  2. Use the bridge to Keyshot(Usually without ZB polypaint or textures maps)
  3. In Keyshot when I try to import a texture map made from MARI it generally doesn’t work. Either its fragmented as if ZB scrambled the UV’s during the transfer to KS or the texture is simply non-existent on the model. I’ve fiddled with all of the controls and triple checked the settings and I still am unsuccessful.

So my question is, with the bridge, am I allowed to utilize external maps or do they have to come from ZB through the bridge? Or is this a bug or am I simply doing something wrong?

Never mind, user error. I forgot that ZB flips the UV’s vertically so thats all I needed to do within the material in KS.
