Wondering if someone could help me figure this out. I see an option for ZTL in Topogun and I've watched a workflow pipeline for Topogun to Mud but I have yet to see how it works getting your different levels back into Zbrush.

Also Mudbox first level is 0 but Zbrush I think considers it level 1

    There is a guide on the TopoGun forum:

    "In order to reconstruct the ZBrush levels:
    -save the scene mesh as an obj (File->Save As), eg. level0.obj;
    -go to Subdivision->Preferences, change the compatibility to ZTL and set the desired subdivision level (eg. 5);
    -Save the subdivision mesh (Subdivision->Save), eg. level5.obj;
    -Import level0.obj in ZBrush;
    -Subdivide the tool the same number of times as the TopoGun subdivision level (5 in our case);
    -Import level5.obj over the ZBrush subdivided mesh;
    -Voila! "
