[Solved] Uvs altering on import into Zbrush...

ironfistopheson

I've modeled and uved some geo in zbrush and then made a texture to guide the dents I'm going to model in zbrush but when I apply the same texture in zbrush the texture is flipped and moved down - as if the uvs have been flipped and moved to the center of 0-1 space.

Has anyone had this issue before or know of a fix for it?



Thanks

So after saving the texture with Uvs turned on Ive found that the uvs have been flipped vertically... Guess I just need to find out how to unflip them then the problem should be solved

ironfistopheson

Boom, problem solved. I still want to know why they get flipped on import though...

Because that's always been one of ZB's weird quirks. UVs are vertically flipped in relation to every other 3d software.

ironfistopheson

Weird.. Thanks for letting me know though. I'm guessing that there's no setting somewhere which permanently changes that?

musashidan

No. It's always been this way. And always will. 

ironfistopheson

Sweet, well now I know   Thanks again musashidan

You know there is a flip uv button right there in the interface right?

Hey Kanga yeah I found the button pretty quickly once I worked out what was actually happening
