Flipped Maps

ZBrush Usage Questions

ZB 3.1

Anyone know if there’s a way to export texture maps out of ZBrush in such a manor that they don’t get flipped the wrong way? I’m currently either flipping them vertically in Phothshop, or in 3dsmax I set the V-Tiling for the map’s coordinates to -1. It’s kind of annoying after the billionth time having to do it though. The only maps that come out of ZB with the proper orientation are displacement maps.

Thanks,
Dustin

Ok, so you still have to do it for every texture. I was more looking for something I could set once and save in my config so I didn’t have to worry about it anymore. Thanks though.

You could record a macro. The resulting button could then be added to you interface.

  1. Select a texture (any texture).
  2. Press Macro>New Macro.
  3. Flip the texture so that it is oriented the way you want.
  4. Press Texture>Export. When the dialog appears, just press Cancel.
  5. Press Macro>End Macro and save the Macro to your Startup\Macros folder.
  6. Press Reload All Macros if the button doesn’t appear.

HTH,

I have an action set up in PS that does the same thing. But having it right in Zbrush is a great idea. Thanks Marcus
