zbrush to poser ( texture )

I recently got zbrush and wanted to use it with Poser figures and I wasn’t sure how to do this so I made it up as I went along.
I imported a the Daz Aiko figure from the poser\runtime\geometries directory edited it in zbrush and saved it back into the same directory it came from under a different name ( ex: blaiko3new.obj ) then changed the original file name ( blaiko3.obj to blaiko3old.obj ) then in poser I selected the aiko3 figure from the figure library. a dialog box opened asking for the object file that goes with it I tell it to use blaikonew.obj file my edited figure comes up and the morphs that came with it worked great so I add it to my library using the + sign at the bottom of the library box the figure is added. I then rename the original file back to its original name ( blaiko3old.obj to blaiko3.obj ) . The original aiko figure was back to normal and the new figure kept the edits. This technique worked great except for one thing, when I went to add a mat pose ( texture ) nothing hapenend I checked the material room and when I clicked the eye drop tool on different areas of the figure it only showed what it called the default figure and when I clicked the drop down menu it showed all the parts ( eyes lips body ect…) of the figure when i selected them they showed the texture that i selected in the materials box but not on the figure.
My question is there a way to get rid of the default texture?

Thanks bkiltz

I am also I Poser user and content creator…what exactly are you trying to so with the model in question? EX> Are you trying to make Aiko’s appearance different like a diff face or different body features or something else? Because depending on what you are trying to accomplish depends on how you would take it back into Poser. Normally you wouldn’t actually import the OBJ but rather import your vertex movements so you would import as a morph target instead…If you import as a morph target then all the UVs for Aiko stay intact and texturing is no issue. I admit I may be misunderstanding your question possibly…

If you give me a bit more detail as to what you’re trying to do I might be able to help :slight_smile:
