Mudbox to Photoshop and back workflow doesnt work...?!
polycounter lvl 9
Hello
I have mudbox 2014 and photoshop CS5. I have model (hi poly version with UVs) and 8192x8192 tif texture. Im in perspective viewport in mudbox with flat lighting on and i click file - export Screen to PSD, i use screen 4x size and export it into PSD, there i open it and make additional changes to that one appropriate layer and save the file. Then go back to mudbox and click on "Re-import "filename" " and then the problem occurs- sometimes (rarely it works ok) but for the most time, it doesnt do anything... It says "found changes on the filename and applying them" (or something like that) but nothing happens. Rarely it works ok, most of the time it doesnt. It drives me totaly crazy. WTF is this!?
I tried also with default resolution export (and not 4x size) the same issue, sometimes it works ok, sometimes (most of the time) it doesnt work. I also noticed that in "side" (or top etc.) views it doesnt work for me at all.
What is this? Is this a bug?
I tried mudbox 2016 as well, the same issue occurs even there !?
What am i doign wrong? Or is the software so much broken?
