Just upgraded to from z2.1 to Z4 and lost!

Hello All,

I am so Hoping someone can offer me a solution to resurrecting my current workflowissue before I upgraded from Z 2.1 to Z 4. I am in awe of the work you are all doing on here, so thanks in advance to anyone who can help me out. I am not totally new to Z Brush, but very new to Z4. I have been working on 2.1 forever obviously before we recently upgraded.

-I used to be able to import my model from Maya as an .obj file and into Zbrush. I would then import my models, uvs, and pre painted textures I created in Photoshop into Z and work between organic freehand painting and projection paint. I would then export back out of Zbrush as an obj which would save my new paint and texture work which is all I really needed.

Now it seems importing and painting on a preexisting texture has become quite a differant process. And no matter how much I search this forum or go through Digitial Tutors clips, I am coming up with no solutions or soultions that are hard for me to grasp.

All I want to do is import my model, uvs, and painted textures that I created in maya and photoshop, import into zbrush and finish my paint job in there…I am inpressed with all that ZBrush can do, but for my current purpose I just really need to stick to this workflow as I am on a tight deadline, in the middle of a huge project, and its become efficiant for me.

I would be so grateful for any support, feedback or ideas how to do this!
