caubebutchi

I create a Rock with Zbrush , I retopoly it with 3Ds max. next step , I UVunwrap lowpoly mesh complete . but I dont know how i can use UV (lowpoly mesh ) accept to highpoly mesh . So I want use highpoly mesh make NormalBump + ambient Occlution . Sry English



I know it with zbrush . but I don't want use zbrush make it . I want it with 3Dmax and mental ray .

You are looking for the Render to Texture tool. This is located under Rendering > Render to Texture (or just use the shortcut "0"). I'm not going to detail the whole process, but a quick google search will probably get you a good step-by-step process.

if u were usin maya u could transfer by world space with "transfer attributes"

DrunkShaman

gsokol is right. Sorry I didnt read the "I dont want to make it in zbrush" part =\

It is render to texture tool

bugo

oh, now that I saw, he just wants to bake! The post title is different tho

DrunkShaman

Ya in Maya its Transfer attributes. Though they are from High decimated mesh to low poly.

If the title was "UVHighpoly to UVLowpoly," it would've been the traditional way of saying "I NEED 2 BAKEE!!" heh heh.

Ok, I am done.

T__T . Sry , but this is not my question . I need is " How can use UV (lowpoly ) add into (Highpoly) in MAX . So , I want use Highpoly create A Ambient texture and Normal texture

That is called baking textures, not transfering uvs. As Gsokol described:

This is located under Rendering > Render to Texture (or just use the shortcut "0")

If you want to bake your AO and Normals, you'l need to use a projection modifier and render to texture, as the fine Polycounters above me mentioned. A previous thread lists some tutorials.
