Zbrush - baking subtools with different materials to one mesh

mzisxx

Hi. I'm making game character in zbrush and for now, every part is a different polypainted subtool with their own material. To make low poly I want to merge parts like body, boots, coat etc. into one mesh. I can project the polypaint but not materials. Is there any way to do this?

Zbrush doesn't have a built in way to bake your matcaps into your diffuse map, but there is a plugin called MatCap Baker that Joseph Drust made which will allow you to do it. Take a look and see if it will work for you. You'll need to bake one map for every different material you're using, so you might have to do some stitching work in photoshop if your mesh is just on one UV tile.

Ok, I'll try this. Thanks for help!
