Zbrush/Topogun/Maya Workflow question

flipside8404

Hello, I'm doing my first character in Zbrush and need some help with the workflow

- I did my sculpt (dynamesh/zremesh) and then polypaint my character
- Retopo in topogun (in process)
- Unwrap in Maya
- how do I transfer the polypaint that I have in my high poly to the low poly mesh?

Thanks

That process is called baking. You can bake out all kind of info. (vertex color, AO, normal, height, yada yada yada)

Use xNormal for that. It's free though it's the best. Can't remember if Topogun can bake Vertex Color or not. It probably could as well.

Thanks PyrZern, I was able to baked out the Vertex Color using Topogun. Comparing the speed of producing maps especially AO, I find Topogun a lot faster than XNormal.
