Transfer Uvmap from a model to another 3dsmax?

NAIMA

I have made a model in 3dsmax, uvmapped, and exported to Zbrush , here I just moved things around , didn't remesh , didn't retopologize, didn't subdivide etc, so the mesh is exactly the same apart some deformation ...

Whe I reimported in 3dsmax the uvmap is all gone, and even copying and pasting from the original model didn't work ,

I spent a lot of time uvmapping the object and I canìt redo the thing for what should be a slight different version of that model.

Is there another way to pass it ?

Try projection modifier. it's one of its functions. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/3ds-max/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2021/ENU/3DSMax-Modifiers/files/GUID-A529E28F-4444-4E90-BBAD-7E2DF108479C-htm.html?us_oa=forums-us&us_si=0dd04406-1698-4866-88d4-6151e2a35db6&us_st=projection%20modifier

  Works pretty much same as data transfer in Blender .  

Last time I did it in  Max 2008  although.

More  objects are tessellated  better it works usually.

ps,   Oh. looked at your screen and  unfortunately  the projection can transfer UVs to a new topology rather than new actual shape.   Still worth a try

Is there a non destructive way to modify objects in zbrush to not waste the work done on uvmapping

I tried projection but the topologic shape is different so isn't working.

can you create a morphtarget from one onto the other? if that works, you should be able to save and load UVs

NAIMA

Mmm never used that ... In theory should work as its the same exact geometry

Ok this is strange, I added morph target to my original item and went to pick up object , but when I pass over with the mouse on the model deformed I want it doesn't let me select, is there a reason why?

I mean they have the same geometry and vertices, perhaps not the vertex id?

But how I even get it to have the same?
