Sculptris import obj texture update#

At the moment I am experimenting with making a model in ZBrush (using Zspheres) and then bringing it to C4D for the render. The Zbrush to C4D pipeline tutorial deals with bringing a model from C4D to ZBrush to create Dmaps and then back again for the render in C4D. Ideally I’d like to do alot of the texturing in ZBrush and then put the final touches on in Bodypaint. If I want to get a good result with Cinema do I need to bring the ZBrush built model into Cinema to sort the UVs and then go back to ZBrush to create the displacement maps? The beautiful results obtained in ZBrush seem to get lost in the translation to Cinema. Also the displacement is really no good, and after a reasonable amount of experimentation I can’t seem to get a good result. jpg I have attached there are alot of seams in the texture resulting from the bad read on UVs. It also seems that Cinema does not read this kind of UV layout properly. The way ZBrush generates UVs - evenly and rectilinearly - is very different from anything that Cinema/Bodypaint UV Mapping tool has ever done in my experience. ) and exported to C4D via Riptide, and included the texture map, displacement map, UVs, and also groups. (I am very new at and trying to build some VR demos and would prefer it to be as easy as possible like it was Unity getting a model imported.) All of the models I’ve purchased online and somehow import they all import to unity just fine with their terrible UVs.I made a quick character model with Zspheres (this is the best organic modeling system I have ever tried!! So easy and fast. Even after re-exporting as FBX 2013 from 3DS it doesn’t resolve it. So I am stuck with black static FBX meshes if I bake the lighting. Also you cannot seem to “generate unique UV’s” from the editor in 4.5 anymore. Ok so that videos above seem to be a bit outdated. Sorry ,but Im trying to cover all bases so I can get working asap, as I’m stuck here. Are you saying to bring in a OBJ and not have a black material about building light, that I need to bake a lightmap ?ītw also, I wonder if my problem is that the lightmass importance volume isn’t ‘bound tightly’ …I have no idea what on earth that even means, could it be that I didn’t do that,that I’m getting the object to display all black ? I know what UV’s are, but I’ve never heard of them as relates to lightmaps. Im very confused why we are talking about UV's and lightmaps. May I ask, is the lightmap you refer to, something that the FBX format does on export ? Maybe I could convert from obj to fbx then would that fix … Sculptris isn’t really designed to export directly to games, to setup lightmaps you’d need some way of editing the UV’s

When you update the object in the content browser it updates every instance of it in the level, each object you place in the level is referenced from the content browser, so any transform values you have will remain. If that’s the case the way to fix it is to use the old school xform reset found under utilities that will force the scale of the object to the relative scale, and fix a few other things, and is a tool that’s been used forever to fix unusual stuff like. When you import an object into an environment that uses the local scale of an object, such as a game engine, then any kind of lighting solution will be based on that value which could be micro small or bigger than a Death Star so although the object is relative the math is telling the render engine the object is either bigger or smaller than it is and renders black. Once converted to a poly edit your now editing the objects relative scale with in world space but the local scale will still be set to what it was when created. If it compiles without errors it might be the same problem that I’ve seen when importing mesh from 3ds to other editors that turned out to be a scaling problem.Īssuming 3ds > UE4 the only time the true “local” scale of an object is known is upon creation of a procedural primitive.

It could be a light map problem but the compile log should tell you if the object has a light map problem.
