Zbrush OBJ export

jb1456

Okey so Im a little stuck. I want to export my Zbrush mesh as an OBJ and of course I dont want it to say "ZbrushPolyMesh3D" in the end because of a later bake (please exclude that I dont want it for FBX right now). I have followed allegorithmics tip on how you can uncheck the group option on the export section but this does not work. Is there any other way or am I missing something ?

 This is a problem because I need to bake the low polly with a highpolly and use Substances mesh by name feature. But if the highpolly changes name then it wont work. Im currently testing on my lowpolly model in MAYA

The colon in the name indicates that this model has a namespace assigned to it.  Namespaces allow models to possess identical names in a scene without interfering with each other.  You can remove namespaces using the Namespace Editor found under Window > General Editors.  Just select the namespace and choose Delete.

That's not quite the problem, @jb1456 is just using maya to show how the object is named, the namespace comes from the filename which isn't helpful for the intended workflow.

A quick search netted this post, would this help? There's a special note about unchecking group for each object.

Failing that, you can edit the obj in np++ or something after export to change the name.

namespaces are applied when you import the mesh. There is a checkbox on the 'import OBJ' dialog that says "'use namespaces". Uncheck this and then set the drop-down boxes to 'Resolve: "clashing nodes" with "the filename"'
