Contributor Tony Nemo Posted May 23, 2016 Contributor Report Share Posted May 23, 2016 No "export" is necessary. Your model is already in the Retopo room. In the Retopo room, import your low poly ammo belt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contributor Solution Tony Nemo Posted May 24, 2016 Contributor Solution Report Share Posted May 24, 2016 Alt-Select the belt volume (to hide the other volumes and in the Retopo room, re-name the active group Ammo Belt. Or you could select the volume in the Sculpt room and right-clk Autopo and when complete, you will see your belt in the Retopo room. Autopo is great for non animated parts but you may prefer to use a manual retopology for the figure. Name your various retopolgy groups as needed and save them to different UV maps where desired.

Member Avis32 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 We did not understand each other It's propably my fault,because English is not my native language. I dont want to use autopo because i want to have my ammo belt topology.I added it as a spline without voxelization,so it have nice low poly topology,but it is in sculpt room.Anyway thanks for respond.

If the low poly model came from outside 3D Coat, you can just Import it into the Retopo Room via the Retopo Menu. But if you created it in the sculpt room, chances are, it isn't low poly. This would be a very rare use case and it's why there is no direct way to transfer a mesh from the Sculpt Room to the Retopo Room. However, one quick way to do it, would be to just drag and drop the VoxTree layer into the Models pallet. It will store the mesh there. Then in the Retopo Workspace, you can open and dock a copy of the MODELS pallet in that workspace, by going to the WINDOWS Menu > Popups > Models. Now just click on the thumbnail of your model and it will bring it into the Retopo Workspace. It's a preview object at this point, but hitting ENTER will commit it to a new retopo layer. That's how I would do it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Avis32 Posted May 25, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 it works great, but I have another problem.it shades everything to gray exept for a retopo model that I imported and I can't work on other retopo groups exept for that one that I imported.

Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted May 25, 2016 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted May 25, 2016 Can you hit ALT + SHIFT + S to upload a screenshot of the UI (Retopo room)? I'm flying blind, otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Avis32 Posted May 26, 2016 Author Member Report Share Posted May 26, 2016 I have solved my problem. it happened because rest of the model was on a different uv set,and if i import 3d coat is creating a different uv set for imported model.
