Hi everyone,
So this is the thing, i started modeling a tree, I did the low-poly version on XSI and Unwrapped it ,and after started Sculpting and texturing in zbrush , And Im pretty much done with it,Now the problem that im having is to Export it back to XSI because I did some HD sculpting so I could add more detail into it cause im planning a close up shot for my render(I think didnt have to use HD sculpting But rookie mistake) I tried creating the texture from polypaint but it didnt get the HD details on it(I read a lot trying to do it correctly) but it still didnt work neither the Displacement map so I decided to used decimation master instead (Cause apparentky im not that good with dispMap creation hehe) but i cant used decimation maser with HD ,So I started looking for options and I saw a tutorial so when you have a “One piece” model with HD sculpting you can dived in polygroups and after isolate each group , activate the “HD sclupt” and Clone the tool, I did that for all the branches of tree, and created different tools from each , and then I appended all of them together (also I had to reconstruct the low subD lvls) And they kept the HD details and the polypaint that was great , But I didn’t know They weren’t going to keep the UVs .
So Know Im in this situation Where I have My tree With the details and polypaint that I want , 59 million polygons(I dont know if thats to much ) , And No UVs either to create the Texture or the DISPmap , Or decimation master cause is seems that All the subtool appended and applaying Decimation master is to much for my pc Cause is crashes Zbrush or does Work. So what Im looking for is options of what can I do to recover the UVs or If is there a way to keep the UVs when you are doing the isolation/clones of each polygroup. I been in this pickle os a week Now I cant figure it out on my own hehe , so please If someone could help me let me know.
NOTE:
-I tried Creating UVs with UVMaster for one subTool at a time And decematiion Master and it seems to work the downside is that is taking me a lot of time for One Subtool and I have 20, I’ll do it if I have no options but if there is a better way or a faster way to do it I wouldnt mind.
-Sorry for the extended message but i wanted to tell pretty much all the info so people can help.
thank you very much in advance.
