Polypaint disappears when imported to Keyshot?

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Hi all,

I recently purchased zBrush 4r7 without keyshot or the keyshot bridge as I already have Keyshot 5 on my system.

So, what I do is to export my zbrush model as a FBX / OBJ and then open Keyshot 5 to import that in.
However, all the polypaint that I did on my zBrush model is gone; Keyshot doesn’t seem to import the polypaint. All I see is a blue (sometimes grey) model in Keyshot.

Am I missing something? Don’t want to spend additional $$$ on Keyshot Bridge for now.

Tks!

That’s the whole idea of having the Bridge, it exports everything. However, without the Bridge you can save out the textures from ZBrush and then import them into Keyshot via the slots on the Projects tab.
