Transferring painted textures from a model with 2 separate uv tiles to 3

artbywaqas

Ok, so here's my dilemma.  I have a detailed character model consisting of several individual pieces ( it's a robot). After roughing out the basic designs for the texture I'm realizing I should probably break down the textures even more from 2 to 3 separate maps to get the details and resolution I want. 

It is possible to somehow bake out the painted textures I have from 2 separate maps and uvs tiles and transfer them to an updated model with 3 separate uv tiles?

I did the initial texture painting in Mudbox and modeling unwrapping in Maya

Have you tried using Transfer Maps in Maya to bake the color information to the model with the UVs you want?

Hey jStins,  

I did try. Here is what it did:

I feel like this could potentially work if I could just figure out how to change the output settings to give me 3 separate images

Hm... What if you use 3 different UV sets instead of UV tiles. So all the UVs would be 0-1, but with different UV sets for each tile you want to create. Then change the output UV set accordingly in Transfer Maps.

You can do it in Mari using the transfer channel feature, it's working very well.

just do a transfer paint layer in mudbox...

or in mudbox

you can do it in Blender, but  it is a one by one process.
