Hey guys,

I have a bunch of objects in mudbox, with sculpted detail in all of them, their uv's are nicely laid in the 0,1 space with no overlapping, so can i just generate 1 displacement map to be used with all the objects or do i need to extract 1 map per object and somehow combine all of them in photoshop? that would be a pain... i know i can do that in zbrush, just wondering how to do it in mudbox

edit: yes it works, I should have checked before posting this :)

cheers

little hint...

Important: If you are extracting a map for multiple target meshes and Generate a map for each target is on, ensure that you use %s as part of your Base File Name. (Otherwise the map generated for each target will have the same name and overwrite the map output for the previous target.)
