Hi,
I’ll cut to the chase.
I had to redo the UVs of a mesh which is part of a bigger model. I already did the highpoly of the model. The mesh in question are a pair of pants.
How do I transfer the highpoly DETAIL from the old mesh to the new? (Is it possible or do I have to remodel the pants/mesh?)
Note-I did not change the number of polys in the base mesh, just changed the UVs.
Please, help me with this one.
Thanks
Are the pants a separate subtool? If so, you can go to level 1 and import the new pants over top of the old. Be sure to store a morph target at level 1 before you do this, and switch back to it before you return to higher levels for anything.
If the pants are not a separate subtool, you could append the new ones. Then use the Tool>SubTool>Project All feature to transfer the details. You might have to hide the rest of the original mesh first. If that doesn’t work too well, you can also use the Project brush to do the job.
Thanks, didn’t remember that you have to import the mesh OVER the old one.
But, damn, this will teach me to do the UVs good the first time. Becuse this is what I get. It seems like I’ll have to redo them again.
