Transfering texture from hi res to low res with different UV

DireWolf

Hi. I'm kinda exploring my choice here. If I have a high resolution model complete with a color texture and a low res model with it's own UV, what application will be able to project/transfer color map from high res to low res? I kinda think either Zbrush and Mudbox should be able to do this but I'd like to hear some confirmation. I'm also interested if Mari is able to do this.

Thanks in advance

The transfer maps utility in Maya can do this. Grab the diffuse function and bake it like you would any other map.

I did not watch the whole video yet, but it looks like this guy will step you through the process [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w7x58Gjnahw"]Transfer Diffuse Map - YouTube[/ame]

Thanks everyone

For some reason I totally forgot about Maya's transfer maps. I always use it to generate normal/occlusion but never color. Interesting.

I personally think 3dsmax smokes maya in the baking department. But xNormal is a bit more capable than either of those. Especially when it comes to handling large amounts of polygons. Max and Maya have so many more things that you "COULD" do to those polygons but never will. xNormal doesn't even pretend to do any of that stuff and focuses on doing that one thing really really well.
