Zbrush newbie: nanomesh export

Phillipsa

i’m massively confused by nanomesh, I’ve found lots of stuff on the internet about how to generate it, but not ONE tutorial on how to export it? 

Im assuming that I don’t really want to export an OBJ with millions of polys and projecting leads to a worse ‘cookie cutter’ appearance and I lose my UVs on the  Nano mesh itself meaning I have to spend half a century of masking stuff in photoshop.

does anybody have a good solution to this? Much appreciated!

"One to Mesh" converts the current NanoMesh index to real geometry. That's all..why would you project to it? UVs aren't needed on the highpoly (if baking to a lowpoly is the goal)
