Can one project a texture between meshes?

Necroscope · Dec 2014

Is there a method for this? In zbrush one can easily project 3d details from mesh to mesh, which tends to be very useful when in need of retopology, hence I wonder if the same can be done with textures?

Its called texture baking, most people only use it for normals vertex color ao and curvature but you can also use it to transfer textures.

Most people don't bake textures between a high poly to low since that would require both the high poly and low poly to have uvs

ZBrush will transfer polypaint during the same operation, as long as RGB is turned on. If one mesh has a texture, just convert it to polypaint before using the Project tool.

If you have xnormal, you can bake textures and polypaint between completely different meshes / UV sets. Major 3d applications also allow for similar texture baking.

Mari Inide can do just that.

It can also import Photoshop files (groups, painted layers and masks) and transfer those.

You can also do this in Mudbox! They make it pretty easy for you too!
