  1. zbrush->3d coat -> zbrush workflow

    i finally have realized that the problem is not originated from 3d Coat or importing/exporting mesh between different programs. In Zbrush, I've also tried to copy+paste UVs between different meshes (subtools) and it deletes crease info anyway when i do copy+paste. 

    Like i said before, i am not an experienced cgartist so keep learning by doing some experiments and discovering which programs and features suits me.

    Thank you very much all the people who replied me.

    You may experiment with the crease bevel tool on your creases in Zbrush to turn them into real geometry and see if you can uv those?

    in order to turn them into real geo, i need to apply dynamic subdiv, which i really dont want to, because polycount increases dramatically. (i want to keep my crease and dynamic subdivs in order i can render my model in keyshot later on. )

    thanks anyway.

    If you add creases after Unwrapping UV's, that won't affect the UV's at all. Large scale deformations probably would to some degree or another, but not by adding edgeloops or subdividing.

    Yeah this can help. I can do it in my future projects. I'll keep in mind your advice. Thanks again. 

    3dcoat is a nice program which has great features and I hope developers can achieve support more file formats and update app links just to give artists more flexibility between different programs.

    Can you not export before you make the creases? 

    yeah this can be accepted as workaround but might cause some pain if i decide to change geometry later for some reasons which may cause re-create UVmap ? i agree with your words regarding admission but i need to foresee if my method is time-efficient or not...

    ...BTW, I wasn't trying to be snarky or anything in the previous post. I couldn't think of any other way to say it. The issue is in the limitations of the file format (FBX, OBJ), not with 3D Coat.

    i totally understand your concern about those file formats that don't support delivering crease info. By the way i've found out (in another forum) that the file format .ma (maya ascii) support delivering crease info but it seems 3d Coat doesn't support importing this file format. (developers probably have some valid reasons though)

    Another method could be GoZ (or Applink) between 3D Coat & Zbrush but it seems the plugin is outdated (http://3dcoat.com/download/applinks/) and not beeing developed anymore. (needs to be clarified) 

    Thanks

    Hi,

    As a newbie user, i'd like to know, if is there any way to import meshes from Zbrush to 3dcoat with crease information? I generally use Zbrush "zmodeller" tool for hard surface modelling with crease information on it. Regarding creating UVmap, i prefer to use 3d Coat but when i complete UV map, i export that mesh with FBX file. Import it inside Zbrush but realize that all the crease information is getting lost.  It is really painy to re-crease all that faces again. I think i do something wrong or miss. Need you advise. 

    Thanks in advance
