High uv and Low uv

I-ninja

So I made a high poly mesh in z-brush and then a low poly mesh in 3ds max, and I just want to ask how do I make it so they both have the same uv maps?

Thanks a lot- I-ninja

Why do you need to unwrap the hi-poly?

You can unwrap the lowpoly and smooth and the uv's will transfer.

why would you need uv's on hte highpoly? you can paint on it useing polypaint
and just bake detials from it to a unwrapped lowpoly

I-ninja

they will just like that?
Thank you guys now I will look for how to do it

You can also have differing UV's and bake the diffuse texture to the final lowpoly. But yeah, no need for HP UV's usually.

Generally baking maps from highpoly sculpts(Which is what I'm assuming you are wanting to do) uses raycasting to transfer details from the highpoly geometry onto a texture map based on the UV map of the lowpoly meaning that only the lowpoly actually needs to be unwrapped. Im n kt too sure myself but I think thyere is a way to transfer from UV to UV as opposed to raycasting but I dont know what itd be used for :P
