UVing using Zbrush

salimmatta

Hello guys,
I'm an amateur environment artist for games and lately I have been using Zbrush for my game assets, but I'm finding difficulties in UVing a complex model using decimation master as I'm having UV distortion on my Low poly model.

However, If I import my model into Maya the UV still really complicated and crazy, any advice in particular would be a huge help.

Thanks,

Dont use Zbrush for UVs...simple as that.

What exactly are you unwrapping? UVMaster is suitable for certain tasks but it depends on what you're doing. Provide more info than "my uvs look complicated and crazy"

And Decimation Master is only useful for static props with irregular shapes, like rocks, etc/

ZBrush uvmaster is used mainly for noisemaker its not really a dedicated module. You dont have the control you need to produce product ready textures, its sort of a between step. Decimation master is mostly useful for creating templates to send to your 3d app as a reference. Usually you send a decimated mesh to an app where you can build a quick lopoly mesh around it and the lopoly is what you uv.
