Member 3dOxyd Posted January 5, 2019 Member Report Share Posted January 5, 2019 Hi I'm newbie with 3DC and English is not my natural language... so I get some difficulties in understanding this interesting piece of software. I thought that: 1/ Paint room was for importing 3d models and paint them then export back to their origin software... or painting models that have been rearranged in retopo room or created in sculpt room. 2/ Retopo room was for correcting mesh and make optimized texture maps from low poly models coming from high density poly models 3/ Sculpt room was for creating new and clean objects to be then enhanced in paint room and exported to any 3D software (Maya, Blender, 3DS, C4D...etc.) with PBR matching so that one could find the same result in his 3D software. So I've created a new object in Sculpt with textures and shaders (very happy with the result)... but I've no UV map and nothing in texture editor, that means nothing interesting for export, only mesh. Did I miss something? What is the workflow to use my Sculpt object in my 3D software, without assigning again all the shaders? Thanks for your help.

Carlosan Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hello -1 Paint room was for importing 3d models and paint them then export back to their origin software -2 Retopo room is for make low poly mesh and bake texture maps coming from high density poly models on sculpt room. -3 Sculpt room was for creating new and clean objects. Hope this help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 3dOxyd Posted January 6, 2019 Author Member Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 Hi Carlosan, Thanks for your response. I had already seen this video 2 or 3 times when at first I imported the model from Blender in Retopo room; but the result was not what I was expecting for (bad geometry, no recognized shaders), so I decided to model again the object in Sculpt room, thinking that all I could model in this room would be 100% optimized for exporting maps. That's where I am now... but what could I do with my Sculpt model to get a UV map to play with and export the whole model/maps in Blender?

Carlosan Posted January 6, 2019 Report Share Posted January 6, 2019 You can try automatic retopology, but hard to tell the best way without seeing the model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member 3dOxyd Posted January 7, 2019 Author Member Report Share Posted January 7, 2019 Hello Carlosan, Thanks. That's it! I played with decimate command and it's perfect. Moreover, I've seen your post of Jan 10 2018 which helped me to go farther. Now i've just to see more videos to understand the next steps. Thanks again for the help you gave me.
