3DCoat version 2024.22 and above add a new option “Edit->Prefs->Tools->Don’t group vertices per objects in OBJ files (like ZB)” <\/em>for better compatibility when you need to keep the vertex order in OBJ files.
Anyway, 3DCoat preserved vertices order, but in some case it is not enough, and vertices should not be grouped.
In this case you need his option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For texture painting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

To export DAZ figures on 3DC for painting, you need first to follow some steps to get it working without issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On DAZ you need to export G3 figures or G8 figures without eyelashes.
G8 has its eyelashes as a separate piece of geometry and when you export that out the eyelashes actually gets merged with the face and that causes issues with painting.
But with G3 there is not separate piece of geometry over here for separate eyelashes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like to use G8 figures before exporting the model remember to delete eyelashes pressing RMB over the model layer and select Delete G8 eyelashes.<\/p>\n\n\n

Remember to export the base mesh without SubDiv.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

– To export the model without textures<\/em> be ready that Collapse UV tiles and and Write surfaces are not enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

– To export the model with textures<\/em> be ready that Collapse UV tiles is not enabled and Write surfaces is enabled.<\/p>\n\n\n

Preserve uDim tiles<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

As Genesis3 uses UDIM tiling, you need to import with UV tiles support on 3DC.
This option, paint DAZ characters with UDIM workflow allows you to paint seamlessly anywhere on your character with no limitations, and to avoid the old method of paint objects layers on by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So import the Daz figure Turning on Import Tiles as UVset.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The model is imported into 3DCoat with all the udims uv layouts preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n
