UV map re-import

ZBrush Usage Questions
#1

Just having a bit of a problem.

I’ve imported my model from 3dsmax. With no UV map for it.

I’ve started detailing the model in ZBrush until I finished so I’m happy.

Now I need to export a Normal Map for the model back in 3dsmax, but I can’t do to no UV. Can I go back to the model in 3dsmax to make a UV and assign it to the ZBrush tool that I’ve detailed, or do I have to re-import the OBJ file to ZBrush and start the detailing again?

The procedure for importing new UVs for your model in ZB3.1 can be found towards the bottom of this page:

I have not yet tried this out in 3.5, so I don’t know if it differs. I imagine it might if subtools are involved.
