Mudbox Painting

Ihazard

So basically I'm making a barricade for crysis and I want to try painting on the UVs using mudbox, I've made the lowpoly model, aswell as a normal map from a high poly sculpt, then I've uved the lowpoly etc. I've exported the lowpoly model into an .obj file and then imported it into mudbox, my question is how come the UV maps, although applied in max, do not appear in mudbox and I'm not able to paint on the model. If anyone knows whats up or what I'm doing wrong then I would be very grateful, and please don't tell me to go back to photoshop

Sounds like the UVs aren't getting exported with your .obj. Do you have texture coordinates checked on your export options? What happens if you import the obj you just exported back into max? Do the UVs show up then?

haha, it was all down to me not checking that the texture co-ords were checked on the export x.x silly me, thanks for that!
