Saving My OBJ Materials On Export...? (answered)

I have imported an obj file that has multiple materials assigned to it and my import options are for Import MAT as Groups, but when I export the obj it loses all of it Assigned Materials???
Is there a way for ZB Exporting to save the assigned materials?

ZBrush doesn’t use OBJ materials which is why there is the Import Mat as Groups option, but that only converts the materials to polygroups, it doesn’t keep the actual material assignments. When you export the OBJ the polygroups will be there, so you’d need to re-assign materials based on those groups in whatever other app you are using.
