3D Coat to Cinema 4D or Unity...

[splodge]

I've just finished my first model in 3D Coat. I did a 'Quadrangulate for Pixel Painting' and was really happy with the results. I then exported my model to see how it would look in another program.. Not good!!. Both Unity and Cinema 4D both show the exact same irregular shading between several UV islands.

I then tried changing various export settings in 3D Coat - 'Normalize T to B', 'Padding on/off', 'Purple blackground, 'Green text' etc etc etc... No luck.. I also tried fiddling with the import settings in both programs.. No luck..

Has anybody had any luck when exporting to either of the above programs?

Don't make me retopo the bugger!

An example would be helpful. I use C4D and have exported OBJ and Diffuse (Color for C4D) and Normal maps without trouble. Does your UV map look the same in both apps?

I confirm i export in c4d and i have no probleme

for normal map ( in vray i inverse normal map)

this an example, i use normal map for bump wet shader, i paint in direct paint

Nice shark!!

Did you both use 'Quadrangulate and Paint'?. Because if not and you've both created your UVs manually then you just might not have noticed the irregular shading between the UV islands. Or if your object has very few UV islands then it's also going to be less noticable.

I'll go try to make an object that demonstrates the problem clearly. brb!

It's simply a sphere with three grids drawn onto it using the Toothpaste brush. I then did Quadrangulate for pixel painting'.

Notice how the bars that run into a neighboring UV island have their shading flipped?.

This is what I'm seeing in both Unity and Cinema 4D's editor.

It looks fine in 3D Coat:
