Export tool with multiple subtools for import in keyshot

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

How do I export a tool with multiple subtools so that I can import them all at once in Keyshot and still keep separate (sub)objects? I’ve tried subtool master, but that way I end up with one big OBJ file that has no sub-objects.

#2

To answer my own question:

  1. Merge all subtools with ‘subtool master’
  2. Export merged subtool (only check ‘merge only’)
  3. Import in KeyShot with ‘keep individual parts’ and ‘materials’ selected
  4. Right-click on each individual part and choose ‘unlink material’.
  5. Assign new material to part.
