Copy-pasting uv's among same topology meshes - issue.

ZBrush Usage Questions

Hi,

I hope someone can help me with this. I’ve modeled a baby girl with her developing stages all from a peanut size and there are 4 stages that serve as the morphs of the whole process.

Now I have added a weenie to the baby to make it a boy, I didn’t want to sculpt from scratch because time is of the essence for the project it is for. I’ve added the weenie to the same place in topology of every one of that 4 stages, and the models register each other as same topology, only until it comes to the uv’s. The uv’s work fine on everything apart from the weenie area. Is there something it can be done?

In lesser words: the uv layout didn’t transfer to the same model as I was hoping it will. Perhaps something in the normals of the weenie? For now I’ve tried cutting off that portion flipping the normals and merging again by welding but no luck, only then it becomes flipped the wrong way visually.

Please help if anyone knows what needs to be done,

Thank you
Dmitrij

What is a weenie?

The *****?

What programs are you working in, is your vert order the exact same for all of your models? Are you sure? How have you checked?

Holy **** you can’t say *****…
hmm…test
vagina
breast
testicles

Although you may have the same number of points; Your topology has changed from inward to outward. Therefore U/V’s will be different. Simple as that.

what?

what would normal/tangent direction of the mesh have to do with the winding order?

I don’t understand how quoting me in any way has been helpful to him or anyone else? :confused: Please correct me if my information is faulty.

#6

Quoting you ensures that others know what I am responding to. And if you are correct in what you’re telling him, I was asking how. It was to better relay information between users of the site. If you know something I don’t I want to learn, hence the question.

Thak you all for your replies! Yes, the vertex order got all wrong, so what I did was detached the peeenis from the first model as well and attached it using the same bridging workflow as with the other stages it had to be attached to! Thank you so much!
